...Internet downage.
By which, I mean, no page would load.
Then I could load some.
And then I couldn't.
So it keeps on going up, and going down, which is going to make my day incredibly difficult. In the meantime, this did give me some downtime to further develop a technique for the whirlwind character. I think I'm done creating techniques for him after this, but basically, he doesn't necessarily need to turn his weapon into a staff in order to combine his attack ki and defense ki.
Because the sword, when sheathed, is inside of the scabbard, he can still channel both his kis into it, creating an incredibly dense, incredibly powerful, and incredibly fast, versatile attack, which in a split-second's notice, can be converted into his normal attack stance.
From this point on, probably best that if I want to build the story up, to focus on other characters. I have some of his backstory, and I've given him a variety of techniques with defined limits. So anything further would be overkill.
