Wrap

 is a strange elementless technique, capable of sapping a target's strength for a short period of time.

Description
The user catches the foe in a sudden, engulfing movement using either their own body, a long limb such a tail, tongue or an elastic arm/leg, or a long, flexible piece of equipment such as a vine, a length of rope, or even thread drawn from a piece of clothing. As the foe struggles, the constricting hold tightens, injuring them further. As such, the opponent is also restrained and unable to move, as long as the user can keep them tied up. As such, the user can still access most of their energy-based techniques, however physical techniques are impossible due to the requirement on using their physical strength to restrain and injure when they struggle. However, the initial impact is extremely weak, making it more likely to trigger them to struggle.

The technique can be broken through the use of the technique Rapid Spin, certain physical attributes such as contact poisons/paralytic agents/sedatives/etc, plus any easily-escaped armor/vehicle/piece of clothing that gets caught. However, the idea of being forced to shed clothing or armor to avoid pain is an awkward one, and as such is rarely seen.

Technique Rank
Due to the technique's extremely low impact power, it bears an E-rank. However, the few practitioners willing to disagree are quite vocal, and say that the technique should at least bear a C-rank due to it's sapping potential.
