Breaking the Boundries
The training involved in it's activation is excruciating, however necessary in order to effectively use it. There are three essential steps in order to fully harness the Doujutsu. Each step is a test of the mind and each one is more difficult than the last. This process comes at a completely random time, so usually the clan member isn't even able to prepare for it. However, it can be done voluntarily by a fellow clan member forcing their own chakra into the eyes of the clan member wishing to be tested. These tests occur in the mind, they take no real physical toll on the clan member other than mental fatigue, and during which time they'll appear to be in a hypnotic state. Once they have overcome all three steps, or failed given up, they will retain consciousness.

The First Step - This step is the easiest of the three, but not easy. This involves the clan member being put at the start of a gigantic maze. The hard part about it is, there is no light in the maze. Darkness will be all around them. The clan member will still be able to use all of their abilities, which is why the fire element works well for this step, as the clan member would be able to light up the area around them to show them the way. Their chakra limit is the same however.
The Second Step - The second step is a tad harder. This involves the clan member fighting themselves in emptiness(an all white area). The copy of the clan member will have the same abilities, emotions, think the same etc. which makes difficulty ensue. One might think the key to winning would be to be unpredictable, but the copy may very well be thinking the same thing.
The Final Step - The third and final step is the hardest, in a sense. The user will be put on top of a platform with a very thin post holding it up. The key is to achieve complete and utter balance through concentration. If only slightly un-concentrated, the user will lose balance and fall, however, they will land straight back on the platform. Until they can balance themselves consistently, they will not move on.

The clan member can become conscious at any time by tapping their feet together three times and repeating the words, "There's no place like home." three times as well. However, there is no telling when these 'tests' will emerge again, so if they do this and there's no fellow clan member to start it up again, it could be years before they get another chance.

Clairvoyance
Clairvoyance is the first ability acquired after activating the Manako no Seishin. It's sort of like a master sensory. It allows the user to sense out any biological entity by simply thinking about them. To do this, the clan member will first activate the Manako no Seishin. They will then close their eyes and begin to imagine the person they're seeking. If all the correct steps were taken, the user will see through their target's eyes, hopefully allowing them to figure out where the target is. This ability works by the user's extended chakra seeking the chakra of the target. The more advanced the shinobi, the faster the process will be. The catch to this however is in order for it to work, the user must have had some kind of previous physical contact with the target. An easy way of avoiding their ability would be completely suppressing one's own chakra. By doing this, the Kasui clan members chakra has no path to take.
At B-rank, it would take the user about 3 posts to 'find' the target. The area of effect would be 200 yards.
At A-rank, it would take the user about 2 posts to 'find' the target. The area of effect would be 300 yards.
At S-rank, it would take the user about 1 post to 'find' the target. The area of effect would be 500 yards.
(This means the target must be within the noted range of the user)

Clairsentience
Clairsentience is the second ability acquired after activating the Manako no Seishin. It's essentially the ability to perceive the history of an object or person by touching it. To do this, the clan member will first activate the Manako no Seishin. They will then send chakra to their hands and apply it to the object they wish to know the history about. They will begin to get flashes in their head, of everything that object experienced post-creation. If the user wishes to find out the history of a person, they will have to send the chakra into their hand and then grab onto the forehead of the person in question. This ability is extremely useful for recon.
At B-rank, the user would be able to see the history of a person or object up to 2 weeks prior.
At A-rank, the user would be able to see the history of a person or object up to 5 months prior.
At S-rank, the user would be able to see the history of a person or object up to 2 years prior.

Sense Extension
Sense Extension is an ability that brances from Clairsentience. The ability to extend ones senses a short distance from one's body in order to overcome some barrier to normal sensing. In order to use Sense Extension, only barriers to sensing other than distance may limit the user. For example, the user is hiding behind a door. By using Sense Extension, the user can see what is on the other side of the door, or even what is in the next room or on the next floor, because if the intervening door, walls, or ceiling/floor were not in the way, the user would be able to see that far. The senses of hearing, smell, and even touch can be similarly extended (although extending the sense of touch has a much more limited application - feeling the texture and shape of something without removing the covering or wrapping, for example).
At D-rank, The user may extend one sense anywhere within 10m.
At C-rank, The user may extend two senses anywhere within 15m.
At B-rank, The user may extend three senses anywhere within 20m.
At A-rank, The user may extend up to four senses anywhere within 25m.
At S-rank: The user may extend up to five senses anywhere within 30m.

Secret Clan Jutsu:

Name: Yasashii Teisei [Translated: Gentle Whisper]
Type: Fuuinjutsu, Doujutsu
Rank: B
Element: N/A
Description: This is a special Fuuinjutsu used by the Kasui clan. This technique is pretty much always voluntarily done, considering the amount of time it takes to draw up the seals by hand which the seal requires. The user will first take out the ink needed and then will begin to draw a series of sealing symbols on the person in question. Once this is done, the user will do a string of long handseals that will make the symbols come together to make the Kasui clan symbol. This seal will destroy any boundries of the mind and allow the Kasui clan member to communicate with the seal bearer telepathically using Clairvoyance. The clan member will be able to see through their eyes as well, so this technique is useful for helping comrades.

History:

The history of the Kasui clan isn't one particularly long. Rumors are the clan branched off the Yamanaka clan of Konoha, however, such rumors have not been proven true. The clan all started in Kumo by a man named Tensei Kasui. Tensei was a man with a huge reputation as an elite tracker, given the nature of his Doujutsu. His clan quickly grew in size and reputation and were given specific missions of recon because of their unique abilities. Not only that, they were beginning to be known by their physical attributes as well. Known for their all black hair and their black eyes with purple pupils, they quickly became feared. Everything was going well for Tensei, up until the day he was assassinated. The clan mourned their leaders death and avenged his death. Unfortunately for this assassin, he murdered the leader of a clan that specializes in finding people. After the mourning and vengeance, Tensei's son Tenrai was named the new leader of the clan, and he had intentions of changing things drastically.

Tenrai was a brutal leader. He was young and arrogant, and most of all wanted nothing more than power. He plotted his own assassination attempts against the Raikage in hopes that once the Raikage was dead, he would be named the new leader of Kumo. The rest of the clan had enough of him and told the Raikage about his plans. After which he fled the village to recruit shinobi as pawns to help him carry out his goals. He was going to kill the Raikage anyway, regardless of whether or not he could ever get the title himself. Upon trying to enter Kumo, he was stopped by a young member of the Kasui clan, Toshirou Kasui. Toshirou was only a boy, so Tenrai and his men laughed and laughed when he stood up to them, although they admired his courage. What Tenrai didn't know, was that Toshirou was the new talk around the clan, people calling him a prodigy. After a long battle between the young boy and Tenrai and his men, victory was Toshirou's. From that day on, the clan picked Toshirou as their candidate for future clan leader. Toshirou didn't want this, but he was told he didn't have a choice. Because of the pressure this put on him, he ran away from the village and was never seen from again.

- Firstly take the WIP out of the title, it is misleading. ^^

Quote :: This step is the easiest of the three, but not easy. This involves the clan member being put at the start of a gigantic maze. The hard part about it is, there is no light in the maze.

Their chakra limit is the same however.

I am presuming that the maze is locating somewhere in the clan premises? I did not see this stated in the history, so it would be good if that is clarified.

Quote :: The second step is a tad harder. This involves the clan member fighting themselves in emptiness(an all white area). The copy of the clan member will have the same abilities, emotions, think the same etc. which makes difficulty ensue. One might think the key to winning would be to be unpredictable, but the copy may very well be thinking the same thing.

Is this a mental test, seeing as there is emptiness and a white area? You would need to explain this step better. How is the copy of the clan member created? is there a technique which is used?

Quote :: It allows the user to sense out any biological entity by simply thinking about them.

To what extent does this take place? You talk about being able to see through the targets eye's, but if you can biologically locate them then this ability must go beyond that. How is the sense initially found? Is it connected with the targets chakra? Is their anyway that the target can not be found (other than to have no physical contact). If you can biologically locate them, then can you sense their movements at all?

- Rather than seconds it would be better to work in posts (or both) when stating the Clairvoyance time-line.

Is there a limit to how long the clan member can look? (i.e Days, weeks, months, years) I have also PMed you about a possible idea on Clairsentience. ^^

As said in the description, ALL of the steps are tested mentally. There is no physical maze, it's all in their mind. Sort of like a Genjutsu put on oneself.

Same as above. The copy/clone isn't 'physically' created, it's more of an illusion.

Edited. And thank you man, it was really helpful. x]

All good for corrections.

But regarding the sense extention you would also need a table or something similar to the others to describe the levels at which it can be used. Example;

Quote :: • D Rank: The user may extend one sense anywhere within (certain range).
• C Rank:The user may extend two sense anywhere within (certain range).
• B Rank: The user may extend three sense anywhere within (certain range).
• A Rank: The user may extend up to four senses anywhere within (certain range).
• S Rank: The user may extend up to five senses anywhere within (certain range).

Might also want to state what 9at each rank) they can use their normal sense's through like thick/thin walls etc.

But that is the general idea above.

Edited. And all ranks will be able to see through thick walls, there limit would only be range. Is that okay?

Yes that is fine. Very cool clan, I am glad that it is in Kumo! ^^

Approved.
