Why stone, specifically?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

I've never bothered to look into it. Theoretically, it's because your cells get overwhelmed by the nature energy and are calcified.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

That's unique. Will anything else cause that?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

In general or in terms of chakra?

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Either or.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Yes, of course, and no.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Are there any I should be wary about?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Not particularly.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Alright. How much oil should I use, then?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Start small and just slowly add more until you get the hang of it.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Rubs a small portion onto the back of my hand*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*A tiny amount of nature energy begins flowing into it*

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Will I know when I've used enough?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Try to mold your chakra with it into sage chakra as you go. I'll be able to tell you when you're doing it correctly. At that point you can focus on learning to draw it in on your own.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Alright, I'll do that.
*Focuses on molding the chakra*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Good so far.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Nods, but continues to focus*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*As you nod it starts dispersing* Movement at all will disrupt the absorbing process. You have to remain completely still. Though you could probably use more.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Takes more oil and applies it to my other hand, along with the back of my neck before sitting still*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*Watches*
