When the Skill runs out, it turns into Six-sided Star,which has now the effect to instantly grant maximum Chi Flow after performing the Attack.

If you are not in Sage Mode, then this Skill will be Forbidden Chakra instead, which consumes MP to use and will be now usable whenever you want, it doesn't require a 5th Chakra anymore, but the MP Cost is naturally high therefore.
