Say whut Atrox.
What I meant was using Raiton/Lightning to enchant your weapon temporarily by flowing your elemental chakra through it.
What it would do is give you increased weapon damage, speed etc. for a short while.
Raiton would give you an attack speed bonus, while fire would maybe give attack damage for example.
I don't see how this is lame at all.
There's going to be a wide arsenal of jutsus a player can have, and at one time he can use as many as he likes as long as it's within his spendable chakra amount. There are also longer cooldowns for things you might find OP or ways to weaken such things.
Everything can be balanced somehow in my opinion. While some things are just not worth trying to balance, BYOND is never a good example. Most of the developers don't really have grasp on this.
