@Super: That was good. Very, very good in fact, to the point where I'd even question if it were your first concept; very impressive!

As a passing analysis, I'd argue that since the user isn't actually turning their Nen into light energy or shadows, but simply transmuting their aura so that appears like Shadow and Light, since, obviously, neither one of them is tangible, and if the users Nen were either one of them their aura would move at around 300,000m/s.

Other than that, I'm not sure I have any questions, as the idea is extremely fleshed out and well-explained, so I can only sing its praises. I'm especially fond of the equilibrium aspect of the Hatsu, which is a unique limitation the likes I have seldom seen before. Once again; very impressive! I'd love to see what else you can come up with!

@Zoe: This ability became much more impressive when I saw what you wrote about its medical/combat capabilities. Questions:

1) Is there a limit to the number of holes the user can store within their body?

2) When applying a hole to an opponent's body, for instance, will it instantly manifest the moment the user touches them, or will it take time to occur? If the latter is true, what happens if the user is interrupted before they can finish applying the hole? Will it be removed entirely or will it still appear on the opponents body, but simply smaller than it would have been had the user been able to finish?

@Anonymous: Aside from the massive variety of weapons that can be conjured, why would the user waste memory on being able to conjure a sword/spear/dagger etc, rather than simply carry a good sword/dagger around with them? There are advantages, yes, such as being able to conjure and dematerialize the weapons at will, as well as hiding them with In, but these advantages become somewhat obsolete once you realise that the user could have come up with a highly specialised but more powerful hatsu and simply carry around a sword/dagger on their hip, but instead wasted their memory on being able to conjure a good sword/dagger. Essentially, it's going from Powerful Hatsu + Weapon to just Weapon.

My point is, conjured entities generally need to have some special properties that set them apart from their regular counterparts, otherwise, they become obsolete, and aside from the seemingly limitless variety of weapons that can be conjured, this hatsu lacks a niche that sets it apart as a truly exceptional ability.
