*Note* Permision was obtained form Gn for this. Faust picked up the knowledge of the existance of Kaika from his fight with Riku Shikyo. From that he is able to develop this through his 200+ IQ and also that he has Elemental as a specialty. He will use the heart he obtained from Yoshimaru Kangai to supplement the power needed.

Description: Earth Kaika is virtually total control and mastery of the earth element unparalleled by other Earth elemental Jutsu users. He picked up this technique while fighting an odd man in Konoha who showed effortless control over lightning with out using specific jutsu and hand signs, and by seeming to just bend it to his will and chakra with much less effort then shown by other elemental masters. He took the knowledge gained in that fight and analyzed it with his high IQ. if not for the fact that he was also an elemental specialist, learning this would have not been possible.
Faust can use this technique to freely control the earth around him. The form of this like Earth based jutsu is restricted to the average rock, silt, soil, mud, etc. This however does not include the following: sand, metal, precious gems (diamonds, pearls, rubies, etc), or clay. Most everything else is fair game to be controlled by the kaika. The earth can be used in a such a variety of ways that it would be impossible to list them. However, an idea of the extent of its powers can still be obtained with a few prime examples. Such ways would be to create a wall of earth, causing rocks to float and then be flung at an enemy, moderately reshaping small portions of hills and mountains etc for whatever reason. There is more that can be done but this gives the basic concept.
It must be kept in mind that the chakra used when relying on this Kaika must directly correlate with the size and density of the material being moved and to which fashion and for how long. For this reason it will often take more chakra to perform acts through this kaika then it would to use a jutsu which would produce similar effects. For example. If Faust wanted to use his Great Towers All Angles technique it would only take a single S rank amount of chakra. However to produce the same effects of creating countless pillars of that size with the kaika, would more then likely drain him of nearly half of his chakra or more.
For the reasons mentioned above, the Kaika can typically be considered a last resort ability or also as a subtle enhancer. To elaborate on this, it can be used in much more subtle ways with little fear of quickly draining ones energy supply. It can also be used to slightly alter already known jutsu to better fit the situation. It is strongly recommended that the ninja's training and learning of jutsu in the element of this particular Kaika, not end with this achieved mastery of it for the above reasons described involving chakra costs. Earth being the heaviest of elements is harder to control and takes more chakra to move when not using the focus of a jutsu.
During the use of the Kaika, the user can not utilize any other ninjutsu techniques. However it can be used on the tail end of the technique, and also be shut off manually through the use of Kai. It will end automatically if the user runs out of charka, save for the little bit needed to keep the body functioning.
