A Note About Moshi Magic: Shugenja trained at the Moshi School do not use scrolls. Instead, the accomplish their magic through prayers and a complex system of gestures with their prayer beads. The sound produced by the beads is said to resemble the sound of a centipede rustling through the forest. Consequently, a Moshi shugenja is unable to employ their magic if their hands are tied (unless the spell in question is a mastered spell).

Compiler's Note: I am not responsible for the content of these submissions unless it specifically says they were written by myself. Thoughts on specific clans should be directed to the authors of that work. That's why the email links are there. I'm sure they'd all appreciate an opportunity to discuss it with you.
