Well, coincidentally this is one of the ability I’d like to talk about. Unlike @Stand, I liked this ability. Also I’d like to mention that I don’t agree with neither most of his arguments nor his way to expose them.

Though I guess it’s not recommendable using water divination phenomena to develop any ability. As mentioned before water divination was introduced early in HxH like a way to figure out ones nen-type. And for it have been introduced very early it has some inconsistencies. For example: As you all know emission is all about emitting nen but the water divination phenomena associated is a changing in water color. One can imagine two hypothesis two explain that: (i) color of the water is changed by nen; (ii) nen that imbues water “changes” its color. If you think about (i) one can soon realize that using nen to change real things property has nothing to do with emission. If you think about (ii) one can also realize that giving property to nen (as a color) is better fitted by transmutation.

However, Pigzillion choose one of the aura type that the associated phenomena is consistent, in that case reforcement nen-type. Also, I totally agree that since living beings essencially water, Pig’s ability would work properly and even more than that, it’d be very powerfull to a point that to make it balanced it’d be interest to impose some conditions or restrictions. I mean it’s kind OP to make a person explode by just touching it with your nen. For example: you need to touch a person for a certain amount of time to make your ability work (just like that stolen ability of Chrollo Lucifer: sun and moon).
