Steel Release

Steel Release is a rare advanced nature that combines both Earth and Yin Release. It allows the user to imbue parts of their body, as well as inanimate objects, with the properties of steel. As well as this, it allows users to manipulate pre-existing sources of metal, and create steel from their own body. Steel Release techniques commonly use the Snake hand seal.

Overview
There are multiple methods which Steel Release can be used. The most common way is to first create steel from the body, at which point it can be ejected through the mouth. Through this, the user could create hail or flurries of steel either condensed into physical shapes or as simple, but lethal, shrapnel. Another method is by manipulating pre-existing sources of metal, such as weapons or metal constructs. These can be applied in numerous ways including, but not limited to: Manipulating the blade to strike at enemies in unorthodox ways, melting an opponent's weapons to reduce their usefulness, creating constructs to suit a specific purpose; etc. Lastly, the user can use chakra flow techniques to imbue their own body or inanimate objects with the properties of Steel chakra. Steel chakra is considerably stronger and denser than real steel, but still carries some of its properties such as luster, cleavage; etc.
