Liuxingyu [Meteor Shower]:I've approved this ability as-is, but you are aware that the maximum range on it is 15 meters, right? You currently have it at 5, which can be approved, but that's a self-nerf you're putting on your ability. This would essentially mean that your knives could only deal the damage in a radius directly beneath you, since you jump 5 meters into the air.

Ariella, I need you to make a judgement call on this ability. While I note that abilities with smoke screens and whatnot have been approved without having a subsequent weapon, will knives and the like be approved as well without having a corresponding weapon?
Jiefang [The Liberation]:This ability isn't defensive. Defensive abilities are either Parry abilities or blocking abilities if you are using a Shield-type item or are creating some sort of shield-like environmental object (such as stomping ground for Fanalis in order to create earth shields). With your dodging, of course it would go by Reaction Timing/Speed rules. Since you aren't bursting speed here for your dodge (you can only attack that burst of speed to 1 action in an ability), I am assuming that this is a situational ability and you must dodge an attack first to use it (As your dodge of the attack is part of the ability explanation). The supplementary action, I see, is disarming an opponent, which has the burst speed associated with it. It's using range for scale for some reason, so I'll switch that in the below doctoring of the ability. The only thing left is to determine whether you want it to be an unarmed action or an action associated with a weapon. You cannot have both, as each ability must be chosen to go alongside 1 weapon type, whether that be Body, Sword, Cutting Weapon (As you have), Polearm (Spears, Glaives, Bo) etc. etc.
The rules for defensive abilities and reaction timings are found here:

Huoshan kou [The Crater]The impact area must be written by scale. If you would like it to deal large-area impact that harms multiple bones, please edit what I've edited in the approved area. Otherwise, the scale is assumed to be the size of your hand, not the number of bones you break.
Hainen Dao:I put the duration of the effects of flames in the description. Duration in the ability template refers solely to how many posts it lasts or whether or not you can split the actions up/sustain the action throughout an entire post, or whether the action is a 1 time instantaneous thing.

[b]Description: [/b]Throwing a vial of highly flammable liquid at an opponent at 25 m/s, Jian ignites a victim in bright blue flames that burn off any non-armour clothes and delivers B-Tier damage through second degree burns. As the flames ignite on the victim, they will set fire to anything around them, delivering searing pain but no real damage as the lack of the original contact material means the flame will quickly subside after two posts.[/size]
