Yeah is something to check out. I wanna finish up ARS and MARS then go make some trade deals with Kurosawa and nab the squirrel scroll

Especially since we know from Hazou's own childhood that the Iron Nerve worked for him before he entered the Academy. If it doesn't work for non-ninja Kurosawa we'll know the answer for sure.

Isn't that 8 W for HOWS? I don't know we have a citation for JADL.

Don't we know HOWS is 1/3 as powerful as JADL?

hmmm
E: But seriously, if taking this pronouncement literally, the seal isn't any more useful as a relay than a colored mirror. Relays are useful because they amplify a degraded signal to a base level; this doesn't do that. There is net energy gain in the sense that you're adding an artificial reflection to the natural reflection off the paper, but unless you set up an amplifier circuit (you'd probably need lenses to get Q>1) this isn't very useful.
E2: Actually having thought about this a bit more, you get Q>1 just from placing the two seals next to each other. Shine a bright enough light on the backside and the seals will destroy themselves with a bright flash. The lens approach would be a PITA because of thermodynamics.

I am 75% certain that the esteemable @eaglejarl simply forgot that HOWS are 1/3 as bright as JADLs. The stated values were for the JADL, which has been said to be similar in brightness to a desktop light previously.

The seal isn't very effective as a relay if it doesn't actually extend the range of the original light. It also introduces additional fiddlyness on you and EJ's end of having to not only decide if enough light is hitting the seal to activate it, but exactly how much additional light the relay will emit.
IMO it's much simpler if it has a standard magnitude output.
Force the Toads' webbed appendages. Send Noburi to the 7th Path with an empty barrel. Sage or stuck.

Sadly, you do not need chakra to get back.
In the face of inconvenient facts, lie, dissemble and distract. Reckon anything jaw dropping will happen if Noburi finishes the stretch of ACE on the 7th Path?

Respectively:
You have no magnifying glass to test with. Also, burning / scorching a seal is a Bad Idea.
The seal always emits light of brightess equal to a HOWS.
Only the spiral absorbs light. Yes, it is a hard cut-off. Also, the entire spiral must be exposed. If you fold a corner over it or place a straw across it then it stops working. Chakra being chakra, the exact limits on this are fuzzy; a speck of dust won't deactivate it, but a sufficiently heavy sprinkling of dust will.
The seal is 12" across. Each of the spirals is a circle with diameter 4".
Hazō has no reason to think that 'lower than red' means anything, so he's not going to set emission or reception to that. If you can find a plausible way for him to decide that 'lower than red' is a valid color, cool, although I'm not sure what that could be – "That seal failure was weird, let's investigate it" isn't something he's interested in.
HDK
3 meter at night under open sky (i.e., it's not pitch black).
So mote it be.
No, they can't reproduce it from a verbal description, but they can if they see the color. (NB: There might be some exceptions if people have color blindness or other conditions that distort their color perception.)

One of the main characters of Mirai Nikki is a yandere named Gasai Yuno.
That's a comment on how much has happened while I was away from the quest (~2 months)
If AMITY works, the problem of EN being a death world is half solved. This neatly half-solves a lot of other problems we were facing in the quest.
Having the dragon's body parts loot opens up a lot of options in bringing in the big shots to solve the Dragon problem.
Combined - in my optimistic guesstimate - this solves 1/3 of all our problems in the quest.
That is, until the next kaiju comes...

Need to survive Orochimaru's curiosity about the Dragons, Naruto's personal animosity towards Hazou, Ami's restrained animosity towards [Mari], Kei's murderous reaction at eventually discovering that Snowflake (and also maybe Ami) has feelings for Hazou, create fantasy IVF, achieve Necromancy, find the Sage through Cannai's poem and beat the fuck out of him for screwing up so poorly, figure out how to stop the Pangolins from being genocidal, xenophobic monsters, learn Sage Mode, Uplift humanity out of the dark ages (toilets are already on the way), keep Mari from becoming The Heartbreaker in truth, help Noburi become known for more than just his bloodline, keep Leaf from devolving into a civil war as a new merchant Middle class emerges, and keep Leaf from devolving into a mirror of Yagura's Mist as the balance of power swings away from the Few Noble Clans and towards something a little more equitable.
Also the entirety of @Shrooms's List, linked in his signature.

One month till can check this one off. We should try to figure out his FOOM build plan (unless I've missed it) soonish

Yeah, it's mid-March in the story, and Noburi's (potential) chakra increase will happen mid-April (iirc).
For whatever build plans occur: I will be prioritizing Noburi's Medical stats, for reasons I've already made an effortpost about.

Well, maybe. We don't actually know if ACE will do anything, or what it will do when it concludes. We have been told the QMs are still discussing what will happen

Despite having just now made the above claim, we're changing our minds. It was pointed out to us that having the LR emit at a constant brightness means that we don't have to fuss about how much light is hitting it or make judgement calls. We're all in; LR seals emit at the same brightness as a HOWS. We've updated the prior post to that effect.
Are there any outstanding questions or suggested changes? If not, we'll canonize the LR seal and put it in the 'Known Seals' document.

We have 4 as of right now. We traded the Amori grape land for 5 slots.
Last year, they gave us 3 of those promised slots and we had our 2 everyone gets. That got us Atomu, Reo, Mai, Yuno, and Haru. This year, we have the 2 everyone gets and the 2 remaining from the Amori deal, which EJ confirmed we received, so we should have 4.
