Move Creation Workshop

[Takanomiya Hijiri]

The long-winded explanation:
[spoiler]Okay, so this is going to be a kind of unusual request, but I'd like some help rewriting and combining two of my moves into one. I know that doing this will mean having to refund the original moves for half their actual value before buying the new version, but that's fine.

The originals are:

Gravity Manipulation – Stepping Stones (600)
(Flight, Master Acrobat)
Hijiri is able to change how gravity influences his whole body and reduce the effect so much that he is able to walk on water or leap through the air using small objects such as leaves or twigs as stepping stones. Hijiri must spend a small amount of energy to keep this ability active and, if he is not careful, risks tiring himself out. If this happens, gravity will begin to affect him normally and he will either fall through the surface of the water, or drop from the sky.

Gravity Manipulation – Variable Weighted Strikes (600)
(Physical Strength)
Hijiri is able to change how gravity influences only specific parts of his body. Using this ability, Hijiri is able to, with a few seconds of concentration, speed up his attacks. Making his arms (including weapons) lighter, he is able to attack faster but this also makes his attacks less powerful due to the reduced weight behind them. Hijiri can also, after a few seconds of concentration, increase the weight of his attacks. This usually happens in the split instant just before the strike lands, to get the most out of the effect. This also makes him a lot slower due to the increased weight of his body. This move requires a moderate amount of energy and will tire him out if overused.

These two moves were written for me by Daniel after he took pity on me and my utter inability to write this move in an approvable way, and at the time I was perfectly happy to accept them as they were, because I had been waiting over a week by that point and was really eager to get posting.

However, there are a couple inconsistencies that I'd like to remove, namely: there's no charge-up time for making his whole body as light as it can get, yet doing the same to his arm alone would take a few seconds; and he is capable of making his entire body lighter, yet can only make individual parts of it heavier.

I'm not necessarily looking to make it more powerful (though given how much OM I have right now, it doesn't really matter if it costs a bit more), but just more consistent.[/spoiler]
The actual move:
[spoiler]So here's my first draft:

Personal Gravity Manipulation (1200)
(Flight, Physical Strength)
Hijiri is able to alter the strength of gravity's effect on his body (and his weapons, clothes, etc.) to the extent of being able to become as light as a feather, as heavy as a tonne of bricks, or anything in between. These effects come with all of the associated up- and downsides you would expect.

Being extremely light would allow him to stand on fragile objects, 'fly' on gusts of wind, and attack quickly, for example, but would drastically weaken his blows due to the low weight behind them, and would allow him to be knocked or thrown around easily by others, whilst being extremely heavy would make his attacks noticeably stronger, but would also make him tire far faster and move much slower due to the additional weight.

Making himself lighter is instantaneous, regardless of the change in weight, and costs no energy. Making himself heavier requires one second of charge-up per 10kg of weight added (so increasing his weight from 'feather-like' to the maximum value of one tonne would take 100 seconds). This move drains his energy rapidly whilst charging. He is capable of moving whilst charging this, and can even begin an attack, however actually hitting (or being hit) by an opponent will interrupt the charge, and as no weight is added until he intentionally ends the charging period, this means that all progress will be lost, and his spent energy will have gone to waste. Maintaining this move has no inherent energy cost.

Hijiri can also have this move affect only part of his body (e.g. an arm or a leg) if he wishes it to. Note that whilst making his entire body weigh an amount far beyond his capacity to endure (e.g. a tonne) would kill him instantly, doing the same to an individual hand or foot, for example, would merely pin him to the ground, break every bone in the affected appendage and cause him to experience excruciating pain.

I'm not at all sure about the OM cost, by the way, so I just set it to match the sum total of the two moves I'm hoping to replace.[/spoiler]
