    [ Technique ] Unity of Purpose - The People’s Legionnaires drill endlessly, learning to act in unison on the battlefield.

    [ Requirements ] Ninjutsu 3+, Stealth 3+

    [ Technique ] Ekuro’s Weapons - The founder of this order perfected the use of weapons summoned from the Elemental kami. You may cast any of the four Elemental Weapon spells as a Simple Action (rather than a Complex Action). You may spend a Void Point (as a Free Action) to be able to attack with these summoned weapons as a Simple Action for a number of Rounds equal to your Insight Rank. If you have the Ishiken-do Advantage, you may learn the secret spell “Dart of Void.”

[ Weavers ] (Bushi) (EotE 202)*
    [ Requirements ] Allies (Kolat) OR Dark Secret (Kolat) OR Obligation (Kolat)
