Genjutsu Guide/Template

Genjutsu are a powerful and high leveled type of technique based around the use of illusion. Unlike ninjutsu and taijutsu; the use of genjutsu isn’t as straight forward and is thus I feel it necessary to define the use of genjutsu (if only) for site use. In Infinity Shinobi, genjutsu and universal illusions are limited to the manipulation of the opponents senses. Aka, the illusion commands what the opponent can see, smell, feel, taste and hear. With that said, the use of genjutsu for subconscious effects such as mental blocks, forms of hypnosis, or hormonal effects (aka, effects on emotions) are all restricted to clan based abilities.

With that clarified, one more requirement for genjutsu to be used. There has to be some sort of trigger for the illusion; a cue in which one of the senses is stimulated and used as a bridge/medium for the illusion. Genjutsu can’t just ‘work’ because if that were the case it could be considered a form of god modding. A simple example of an illusion trigger would be the opponent having to look at the opponent while they are forming hand signs, or listen to a particular note; or even smell a particular sent. One can even touch the opponent to transfer genjutsu; using the stimulation of the sense of touch. The idea behind genjutsu is that chakra is used to manipulate the opponents nervous system, thus stimulation of the nervous system is needed to act as a medium. In any case, each genjutsu has one specific way in which they are triggered.

Of course, in the description it is best to define the effects of the illusion and illustrate any effects on the senses. All illusions have a duration in which they stay active; either a set duration in number of posts, or the duration can be decided by the user. No illusions is permanent. In the later example, one must state the amount of charka burned per post in order to maintain the illusion.

Thus, Genjutsu has it’s own template that includes duration and trigger so that they aren’t forgotten.
