This might be a tad on the long side, but first off some revisions, I editted Raku-Raku so rather than being a Box Weapon it can just convert into flames for convenient storage (nothing it couldn't do before, but it didn't feel like a Box Weapon to me so I editted the description a bit and made it less lethal o.o)

Rakuraku- One of his family's personal heirlooms, originally used by his mother Raitaro inherited it years ago. It resembles a Japanese style Yari with a green pole which is perfect since it's what Rai normally uses but since he lost (I mean, whatever that story was he said earlier) his ring he can't use it's very useful 'hide in the Mare Ring' trait, so he's got a very useful weapon, but only if he happened to be carrying a 6 foot pole with him when he was attacked. It didn't appear to have any inherent special attributes besides being able to channel flames well (but so can pretty much anything), but it was pretty much the perfect fit for Rai's Spear technique so he never really looked into it until recently.
Turns out, whatever material the Spear is made of can be converted into Lightning Dying Will flames, hence it's convenient storage inside a Mare Ring. The other minor bonus to this is it's possible to turn the spear's head in Lightning Flames so rather than cutting the opponent in half they can be shocked instead. Which is easier on Rai than just straight up murdering them.
Ability:
Raitaro's abilities are all advanced skills in Inazuma style Soujutsu, meaning he can use them with weapons other than Raku Raku but their effectiveness is seriously hampered, only about 50% as effective. They also all require one post set-up while he adopts the stance needed for the waza.
Hitotsu no Waza: DENKOUISSEN Rakuraku's special attack is to allow Rai to travel at incredible speeds and, in his own words, 'ride the lightning'. Only good for one strike, it's one strike that is a flash like lightning which earned him his name, the exact speed isn't measured but it's pretty impossibly fast. After each blow it has to 'recharge' direct from Rai and this takes about 2 posts in cool-down with Raku Raku and 4 with a different spear, He has to adopt the correct stance for the technique before so 1 to prepare, as with all his moves. The best come
Noticably, this technique can be used with other spears but they lack the ability to channel the hardening aspect of Lightning Flames and so shatter with every use. The other handicap is, even though it's incredibly fast, Rai doesn't want to kill anyone so he never goes for death-blows unless the situation is incredibly dire. With Raku-Raku's newly realised trait, he's realised that the main reason this works is the Spear turns into flames during the slash helping it to endure the movement but also meaning it's non-lethal. Amusingly means that when Raku Raku impacts it's literally a flash of lightning so it'll shock opponents rather than cut them.

And now the other stuff, adding two new abilities to this
[classy=temphead] PROOF OF PURCHASE -- FLAME, ABILITY, ILLUSION [/classy][classy=temptext]
NAME OF RECIPIENT: Raitaro Inazuma
ITEM NAME: Weapon Ability 2: Futastu no waza: Hekirekiuzi
ITEM DESCRIPTION: (lit. Thunder-clap Maelstrom/whirlpool) an ability Raitaro inherited from his mother, it's a tricky technique and heavily relient on using Dying Will Flames which is why Raitaro hasn't attempted it. The user takes an open stance with the spearhead pointing at the opponent before releasing as much tension as possible and usually emitting Dying Will Flames through whatever means they have available (ring, weapon, etc), the technique itself is a flurry of spear thrusts of incredible strength and speed, compared most easily to a gatling gun. It functions best with Lightning Flames due to the pressure the weapon goes under when in use and adding the piercing quality. The name comes from both the spiral pattern the thrusts can take when used continuously and from the fact the final thrust creates a sonic-boom by pushing forward at such a speed that the impact often sends opponent's flying.
Now, naturally there are two flaws to this which both make it limited in usage. One is, strangely, range. The move requires 1 post to set up as Raitaro assumes the stance and begins emitting flames giving anyone with good sense time to get out of the way. If you stand 10 feet away from him, Raitaro's spear is 6 feet and he can shuffle forward 3, but moving more than once breaks both concentration and stance so the technique breaks. The second is it uses a lot of Dying Will Flames to continiously harden, sharpen, and fire the thrusts forward and Raitaro isn't known for his resolve. If he isn't 100% resolute the move's effectivness drops, unless he's completely motivated the move lacks the sonic boom at the end and the speed is reduced by enough that it's possible to counter (at full power, blocking or evading are the only options). It takes 5 posts to recharge after use as well due to flame consumption. Obviously, when done without Raku Raku, the spear breaks after a few thrusts and is noticably slower still.
NAME OF RECIPIENT: Raitaro Inazuma
ITEM NAME: Weapon Ability 3: Saigou no Waza: Honokiri no Yari
ITEM DESCRIPTION: The last spear technique that Raitaro's mother invented, Honokiri no Yari, translates to Flame Cutting Spear and it's intended purpose is simply to give a fighter with little Dying Will Flame abilities a weapon to fight back with. Using what Lightning Flames the user has, they focus them on the tip of the spear and converts it into incredibly dense lightning flames creating an effect called "Hekishoku Yarisaki" or "Emerald Spearhead", Saya's hitman title when she joined Spiaggia. This ultra dense blade of flames is intended to slice clean through other Dying Will Flames, unlike Storm's degeneration the goal is to cleave a path through for the user rather than to destroy the attack itself. Unlike the rest of Raitaro's moves, this one has to be done with Raku Raku as fighting with improvised weapons it's impossible to attain Hekishouku Yarisaki. Obviously, aside from Dying Will Flames, it can also cut just about anything, meaning that for a brief time Raitaro is borderline untouchable. Usually before it runs out the common method of dispersal is to slash and send out a crescent of Lightning Flames to slice the enemies' flames before the spear returns to normal. While it's useful, it isn't very often used.
The reason being that it takes both a phenomenal level of concentration, flamepower and skill to maintain the ability. Saya herself could manage 5-10 minutes, Raitaro can with effort manage 1. In post terms, he can keep Hekishouku Yarisaki active for 3 posts provided IC less than a minute passes, but if his concentration is thrown he loses the spearhead in seconds. It takes 1 post to concentrate the spearhead into place, but he can only use the ability once per 24 hours. Yup, the downside to this move is that he can only use it once per fight (though if he's using it, the fight really should be over by the end of it) and it also uses up all his Dying Will Flames leaving him with just enough to maintain Undead Body and stay alive but not enough to utilise any other abilities.
