In episode 28 of HxH 2011, Wing extends his aura into a piece of paper and
easily cuts through the tin can. By the look of it, the strengthen paper seems
to have some "touch" on it. It looks similar to Killua's ability to transmute
his aura into electricity.

The image below shows the scene on **_(1)** HxH 2011_, **_(2)** HxH 1999_,
**_(3)** HxH original manga_. Which surprisingly the electrical-charged effect
can also be seen on the manga, but nothing on the 1999 anime.

Wing is a typical Enhancer, the closest Nen types he could potentially master
besides his main Nen type are Emission and Transmutation. The effect can be
easily differentiate as Transmutation type, Killua is the perfect example. But
it is practically impossible to develop this technique without spending years
of special training and exercise. Is it just an additional "effect" to show
the power of Nen during the starting of the arc, or he really had developed
this ability?

Does Wing also developed the ability to transmute his aura into electricity?


I'm inclined to say that that's not actual electricity, but just a visual
presentation of Wing imbuing the paper with "energy". A visual flare added as
extra clarity for the viewers/readers, who are not yet that familiar with Nen
and what all it can do. (Except for the 1999 anime. Even in the manga the
"electro-likeness" of the effect is arguable, as it could be seen as more
general representations of "energy" or "power" or even a "shock wave".)

I could go on about Wings nen-type, the likelyhood he'd learn transmutation
powers, spesifics that would go to learning this spesific power, if Wing would
be skilled enough to do this and if he even wanted to. But I think there's a
more simple way to conclude that it's not actual electricity.

Apart from the visuals, _it doesn't actually act like electricity_ in any way,
shape or form.  
The paper hardenes, cuts clean through a can and embeds itself to a wall.
Nothing in the way it or the objects around it act indicates a presence of
electricity. (They don't exactly dismiss it either, but then again, what would
be the point of electricity, if it has no use.)
