What it does:
Upon creating the handseals, the user conjures numerous appendages from the realm of the undead. These are in the form of hands ands arms, and are limited in quantity to 5 / 10 / 20 constructs. Their length scales with the rank of this technique, increasing from 5 meters to 10 meters to 20 meters; though their diameter remains stagnant (1 meter per appendage). The hands are consistent in size per rank as well, at a static 2 meters in length, and 1 meter in width. Upon formation, the arms seep through a dimensional portal which can be created no further than 3 meters from the user (but not within 3 meters of another player) upon any medium they see fit (their own body, the ground, air, etc). Their formation occurs at jutsu speed. They have the ability to clash with both physical and chakra constructs, with the natural exception being non-tangible Genjutsu and Sensory techniques. 

Upon contacting a living target, the hands will wrap around them and physically bind the target in place. This is successful if the target's strength stat does not exceed the power stat of this technique. Simultaneously they will deal an instance of damage equal to jutsu power, and bestow a life sap upon the target. Per hit claimed on an enemy, the hands will absorb some of the essence of the damaged user. This occurs in the form of 30 / 50 / 70 HP, which is then stored within the energy of the constructs during the duration of this jutsu (note this is not DOT). Destruction of one construct will not deplete these reserves, but the destruction of all will. During the duration of this technique, individual hands may reach out to a target and upon making contact with them they will transfer the absorbed HP to them. The amount transferred is up to the user's discretion, but it may not exceed 30 / 50 / 70 HP per post. Soul Snatch is limited to absorbing and storing HP up to the power of this technique.

Upon making contact with a technique, the hands will engage in a clash. Should their power exceed the power of an opposing technique, they will instantly dispel the technique and place it on cooldown. They will then absorb the dispelled energy from the technique in the form of 15 / 25 / 35 AP, which is then stored within the energy of the constructs during the duration of this jutsu. Destruction of one construct will not deplete these reserves, but the destruction of all will. During the duration of this technique, individual hands may reach out to a target and upon making contact with them they will transfer the absorbed AP to them. The amount transferred is up to the user's discretion, but it may not exceed 15 / 25 / 35 AP per post. Soul Snatch is limited to absorbing and storing AP up to the power of this technique.

HP and AP absorbed may freely be transferred to the user as the pioneer of this technique, but only at the rates specified above. If the user is a Pureblood Yamaguchi, they also create an intangible receptacle which is stored within the dimension of the undead. This receptacle may be passively accessed by the Yamaguchi, and will store up to 100 HP and 100 AP. It exists throughout the remainder of the topic and its reserves can be replenished through similar techniques.

Should the hands clash with equipment, they will win the clash if their power exceeds the health stat of the equipment. Should the hands win the clash, it eats away at that piece of equipment and converts the consumed material into 1 Negative Energy Stack per clash won. The Negative Energy Stacks are instantly transferred to and stored within the user.

Two things.

"They will then absorb the dispelled energy from the technique in the form of 30 / 50 / 70 AP, which is then stored within the energy of the constructs during the duration of this jutsu."
-In accordance with Absorption rules, this actually has to be half the power of the technique.

We also need to have a spawning clause for people, something like these hands can't be created within 3m of another person works.
