I contradict my previous statement. For this ability, I don't want to be too specific because I will surely end up making some embarrassing mistakes, so you'll have to settle for the generic explanation. As usual, I can't be bothered to come up with a decent name.

Name: EX

Nen Type: Transmutation, possibly Emission

Description: The user turns his aura in radiations similar to those of a nuclear weapon, albeit not quite as powerful. This allows them to generate intense heat and light, cause radiation sickness, and even to disintegrate certain targets through radiolysis. Skilled users can also create electromagnetic pulses.

By destroying his own body and thus losing his life, the user can also generate a much stronger explosion. Skilled users may trigger an explosion whose power and toxicity easily exceed those of the miniaturized Poor Man's Rose Netero had implanted in himself (although the radiations cannot infect others like the Rose's poison).

Limitations: None. However, reproducing the properties of radiations without actually being subjected to them is extremely hard: to use this ability, one would need skills in Nen comparable to those of a starred Hunter and an understanding of radiations rivalling that of a specialist, as well as countless years of training (an extraordinarily gifted Nen user would need about twenty years to bring out the full battle potential of this ability). Moreover, the user must always coats himself in aura not to be harmed by his own ability. To reduce the aura consumption, the radiations can be generated far away from the user through Emission, but this too will lead to a partial decrease in output. Furthermore, while the power of the ability can be controlled, albeit with extreme difficulty, the user is unable to decide for how long the radiations should remain in existence after a blast: generally, it depends on his proficiency in Emission, but his mental state at the time of the attack is the most important factor. Feelings like hatred and rage will cause the radiations to linger much longer than normally possible, even if the user does not wish it. This is especially true for the suicidal applicaition of the ability.
