Not sure where this one came from, but I knew I had to include it somewhere.

Name: Rainman (Singing in the Rain)

Type: Enhancement

Ability: The user uses Enhancement on an umbrella with a pointed tip; by unfolding this umbrella, they can use the open canopy as a shield, which will protect from attacks like a metal shield; strong enough Nen attacks, however, can pierce this 'shield'. However, they cannot use it as a weapon unless they fold it up again, allowing them to use it as a lance-like weapon with enhanced piercing power. Because of this, they can switch between a 'sword' and a 'shield' at a moments notice by using a seemingly-ordinary object.

Limitation: The user cannot use this ability when it is raining, and must be holding the umbrella if they wish to use this ability. Otherwise, they cannot use this Hatsu at all. Additionally, the 'shield' abilities of the umbrella cannot be activated when it is closed, and the 'piercing' powers cannot be activated when it is open. Additionally, only the outer layer of the canopy (the part that the rain falls onto when its open) is the only protective part this weapon has; anywhere else, it is only as tough as its normal materials, though the user is able to use Shu to reinforce it (it will not, however, be as durable as the canopy). Finally, when attacking, the user can only perform stabbing attacks using the pointed tip.
