Power Release: Magnum Opus Barrier

This technique allows for the construction of a barrier requiring the imposition of six quartz crystals, to be infused with Power Release chakra to serve as catalysts for its more formidable effects. It takes the appearance of five chains of red lightning strewing out from five key locations in the surface world (as usually the crystals are situated beneath where the barrier is to be formed) arcing out to a single pillar of red serving as the barrier's 'origin'. A star-like pattern branches out amongst the ground, seemingly stemming from the area surrounding the 'origin'-point. The atmosphere generally appears ghastly.

This barrier remains dormant until Yūmei 'activates' it by forming the technique specific seal. When activated, non-users of Power Release, or those lacking possession of the Magnum Opus seal will have their chakra gradually sapped, whilst being wrapped in cages of red lightning, which despite not entirely incapacitating them, drastically impair their neural synapses, thus making even movement a heavy burden. This barrier cannot be deactivated without Yūmei forming the technique specific seal a second time.

Notably the Magnum Opus Barrier conflicts with other barriers already in motion - in order for it to be activated, those in effect must be deactivated first.
