Cataclysm Ballista

Name: Cataclysm Ballista
Type: Weapon/Crossbow/Hebunriamori Component
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: A+1
Description: This is the bulk of a hand crossbow used in conjunction with Hebunriamori.  Its arms are black, accented with red on the tips; the body is also back, while the rails are made of a red-tinged metal.
Equipment Ability:

• Cataclysm: This is the main ability of the Cataclysm Ballista.  It manifests versions of the weapon that are made of solidified chakra, and can be commanded by the Cataclysm Ballista as they duplicate attacks made by the original. (Takes both ability slots). In other words; the Cataclysm Ballista is capable of manifesting other crossbows that look similar, but are made of chakra and maintain the same shape, though the size and number can change. Then, while copies of the crossbow are in play, they attack whenever the original (held by the wielder) attacks, and at the same target.

Name:  Fortress Ballista
Rank: C-A+1

Element: N/A
Description: A version of the Cataclysm Ballista is manifested directly in front of the caster.  This is a massive copy of the weapon, and its size follows the large technique limitations.  It can either be used for a single post or maintained longer by paying the appropriate upkeep cost.  Following the Cataclysm ability, this copy duplicates attacks at the same target as Cataclysm Ballista but at a much larger scale, with stats equal to this technique's.
Requirements: Cataclysm Ballista, Shurikenjutsu, Summoning Jutsu

Name: Ballistic Storm
Rank: C-A+1
Type: Shurikenjutsu, Summoning Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: With the caster as the center, versions of the Cataclysm Ballista are manifested.  They are evenly dispersed throughout the range of this technique.  (If the range is  50 meters, depending on rank, the diameter, NOT the radius, of this area is 50 meters).  The copies are the same size and shape as the original, and the number of them changes depending on the rank used.  12 for the C-Rank version, 18 for the B-Rank, and 24 for the A-Rank version.  They are manifested in the air slightly above head level to avoid putting the caster in their attack path.  They persist for the post they are used, and for posts following that if the upkeep cost is paid.  
Requirements: Shurikenjutsu, Summoning Ninjutsu, Cataclysm Ballista

Type: Shurikenjutsu, Summoning Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: 1, 2, or 3 copies of the Cataclysm Ballista (C, B, A rank versions respectively) can be manifested anywhere within the range of this technique.  They are each 1/3 the size of large technique rules.  They fire blunt-tipped, chakra-coated bolts such that they're better for defense than offense.  Thus, they can be used to intercept projectiles, jutsu-based or not, and use Defensive jutsu rules for direct comparison. -1 in power if used to damage a character.

I don’t fully understand what the ability does, and by fully, I mean I don’t understand it at all lol

The techniques seem fine tho, I’m guessing from reading that they are pretty standard in just launching chakra projectiles from the weapon? They mention copies of the weapon or something like that so maybe explain the main ability better and I’ll be able to understand it all better lol
