Asahina Shugenja

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

The Asahina Shugenja are the only shugenja within the Crane Clan, and the family maintains a pacifistic view of the world, shunning open acts of warfare and fighting. They spend their time devoted to astrology, meditation and creation of nemuranai, talismans and fetishes. The Asahina love to create things, a influence perhaps of mixing with the Kakita bloodline. The magic comes from their Isawa heritage, and they have come to combine both skills in their work. The Asahina have never been the most prolific nor powerful shugenja in Rokugan, but their skills in creating magical objects is unparalelled. Tsangusuri, the creation of talismans and charms, is one of the focuses of the Asahina school, and all students of the school are taught the creation of minor fetishes. The Asahina have also uncovered some secrets to Meisho magic, which is the magic used to control the spirit of a person as opposed to the spirit of an item. Studies into this have spanned centuries, and can be very difficult and extremely dangerous. (Crane pp. 34-37)
