Reflective Barrier

Name: Reflective Barrier
Rank: B-S
Type: Fuinjutsu
Element: N/A
Range: Close
Description: As the name suggests, the user generates two barriers for one hand each. In order to do so, first the user makes the tiger hand sign and then stretches both arms out and opens the palm of their hand. This generates a barrier that’s 6 feet in length and 5 feet in width, while 6 inches in depth. This barrier also curves around the edges.

So what’s this reflection? It’s not exactly reflection, it’s transmission + teleportation. The ninjutsu or attack enters through one barrier and exits through the other one. So one barrier absorbs the attack and then the attack is then transmitted out of the other barrier.

In order to reflect a ninjutsu or attack right back at the send, the user can simply stretch out both arms in the same direction. This connects both barriers but the principle remains the same. The attack enters through one barrier and leaves through the other one.
Limitations: Does not affect physical attacks & limited jutsus.
Requirements: Character specific.

Note: Due to the fact it's sealing and unsealing compressed in one jutsu, this jutsu will cost double chakra of it's rank. (e.g: A-rank jutsu will cost 2 x A-rank chakra)

I say this is restricted purely to non-physical/non-limited jutsu

Edited.
Just to be clear, it still applies to weapons/projectiles right?

Approved: yes it does.
Provided they are not limiteds

I'd like to request another review of this in light of these proposed changes:

I wish to specify that ranged jutsus (limited jutsus included) are reflected. However, physical jutsus (including limited jutsus) cannot be reflected.

The reason is simply this: consider all ranged jutsus. Let's say a lightening jutsu: if it's a canon or custom jutsu, it's reflected. However, if it's a powerful limited jutsu made of the same lightening or let's say for aesthetics that lightening is purple now; it won't be reflected? It should be. I'd like the staff to consider this and revise the jutsu.

Changes have not been made to the original. Will do so, if approved.

I tend to agree with Jin here. Fuuinjutsu has been shown to even absorb things like Amaterasu's flames. Anything short of intangible attacks & bodily attacks should be allowed to be affected as such through this method. However, this principle of "seal & release" attacks are a two-part technique, as I would suggest its chakra cost is inaccurate. As it operates on the Fuuinjutu's principle of "Sealing & unsealing" Hence two separate payments of chakra.
