    No it doesn't mean phoenix. The quote that you posted showed that the word hō-ō (which is the name of the Japanese equivalent of the phoenix) is written as 鳳凰 in kanji. Likewise, the name fushichō written in kanji is 不死鳥. Kanji is nothing more than a writing style in Japan that uses modified Chinese characters. That's why Ryozen pointed out that something like Tachi: Fushichō would be a more appropriate name, because Fushichō actually has something to do with the phoenix, whereas the word kanji does not.

    Like Ryozen and I both said, the actual idea of the WS is nice, and we're not trying to hamper your creativity, we were both just pointing out that Kanji doesn't work as a name for the weaponskill you created.

    Clearly the flames in the image of a "Bird-like" creature would be that oh a Phoenix, in Japan, the Phoenix is called hō-ō (kanji: 鳳凰) or fushichō (不死鳥?), literally "Immortal Bird".

    Not trying to offend anyone, but please be sure to read carefully before you post a reply. Thanks!
    i like the idea but i prefer it light or ice based (just so i can get element dmg+ and mab in a single atma)

    I will give some thought on this idea as well as I myself like the idea of a Ice AoE WS too.

    i'm pretty sure the question was because kanji refers to the symbols, not the actual word.

    Kanji is a style of writing. Think of it like cursive compared to printing. It's a bit more complicated than that, but it definitely does not mean phoenix.
    Lol, can't stop laughing at the name Tachi: Kanji

    Clearly, Raka needs to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji

    Or maybe not... he's kind of funny

    Ok so from what I have read we have semi agreed on the following...or similar (stil welcome other ideas always )
    Tachi: Fushichō
    Graphic image: The Samurai performs a 360 twirl of his Great Katana while quickly thrusting the blade into the ground; flames in the image of a "Bird-like" creature ignite upon impact blazing from the ground up while engolfing the targets within reach of the weapon-skill in flames
    ~I still would need more data to incoperate specifics for this ~

    1=The actualy name specifics or meaning I am unsure of ....

    2= now what would be the actualy modifiers str? and what percentage

    3=would it be a 1 hit or 2 hit since it does a 1 2 combo or would it add fire elemental damage to the attack and be a 1 hit

    4=further along the lines would it have a damge mutiplier if done @ 200 tp base or a 300 tp base?

    5 =What level skill aquired Also asmuing SE was to incoperate this it would have to be availbale I am guessing post 90 so @ 91 level skill or higher (given gear and merrits might already meen you have it when they make it)
    Just trying to expand on your ideas ... I can understand the importance and w/e of the quality of the name (baring I am still lost 1/2 u talking about for specifics of it lol) But the response and originality and depth research I realy like. I would like to eleaberate on this or incorperate more on this or other ideas as a solid form of a AoE weapon skill we can agree with on and hopefully a Moderator of SE will pick up on it like it and incoperate the ideas. After all isnt that what this forum is about
