My fruhnd, I'm going to suggest taking this back to the drawing board. There's a couple of reasons for this, but the first and largest is that you can achieve this same effect, except stronger, through techniques: we've got Blaze on the main site, we've got Freestyle Step in Approved Taijutsu, we've got Hope Sword and Despair Sword in Approved Ninjutsu, and I believe there's even a few more scattered about the forums but it is early and I've got stuff to do. Not only do they allow you to change elements from any element (not just one!) to another, some last for multiple turns, some let you change Type, and so on. This is not an effect worth six skill points, even if it lets you swap them around all battle and saves you setup actions and some Chakra. The only real advantage it gives is letting you have this ability before Jonin, except… you can but techs a rank early, you're about to be a Chuunin, and you've had no issue buying techs early before.

 

All in all, this is not a bad idea for an effect, but I don't believe that a skill is not the best way to implement it into our game. If you do want to move forward with this specifically… maybe try a skill that allows it as a setup phase action twice per battle per rank in either direction, -1 per rank, limited to Wood and Plant, with three ranks max and one available at Genin, Chuunin, and Jonin. The -1 may seem cheap, but all it really has to pay for is ~14 JP for very specific uses (two uses of the 4JP techs above, except this is only Wood and Plant instead of Wood and whatever) and a small amount of Chakra. I still don't think this is worth skill points, but it should be approvable.

 

So something like this:

 

Will of Kusa

Effect: Twice per battle per rank as a Setup Phase action, the user may choose to replace the Plant Element in a technique they perform this turn with the Wood Element, or vice versa.

Description: wordsAndWords.

Requirements: Kusa Ninja. One rank may be purchased per ninja rank.

Ranks: 3.

Cost: -1.
