  1. Race:
  2. Humans [Free]
  3. Probably one of the most prevalent species in the multiverse. They have a highly developed brain capable of abstract reasoning, language, and introspection. The only natural plane where humans are known not to exist at all is a distant Plane called Lorwyn.
  4.  
  5. Soratami [Free]
  6. The Moonfolk or Soratami are an enigmatic race of humanoid beings who dwell in Kamigawa's clouds. Physically, they are slim, posses blue-gray skin, and have long ears which they wrap over their heads. They have incredibly long lives and more easily tap into magic, at least in comparison to the average human. They are one and all innate casters of one sort or another.
  7.  
  8. Nezumi [Free]
  9. A race of anthropomorphic rats native to Kamigawa. They live in the bogs of the Takenuma swamp and on the outskirts of human cities like Numai, sometimes raiding those cities for supplies or fun. They are incredibly skilled acrobats and adepts of stealth from even their youths. Legend has it that Nezumi Ninja have no shadow, cast out no sound nor smell, and cannot be found by Kami magic, but those have to be just tall tales, right?
  10.  
  11. Orochi [Free]
  12. An anthropomorphic four-armed snake people that inhabit the Jukai Forest of Kamigawa. The orochi of Jukai are segregated into three main tribes: the Kashi tribe, which houses and breeds the warriors of their kind; the Matsu tribe, which are snipers and scouts; and the Sakura tribe, which associates with the race's shamanic rituals and teachings. Of course, each tribe has its exceptions.
  13.  
  14. Kitsune [Free]:
  15. Kitsune anthropomorphic foxes that inhabit the outskirts of the Jukai Forest. The Kitsune are nimble, have a focus on mitigating humanity's excesses here recently and often act as advisors in things spiritual to humans of high rank. They have a natrual talent for healing and enchantment magic, to the point that one of their own will become a legend for becoming a living blessing upon his people.
  16.  
  17. Ogre [100]
  18. Known as o-bakemono, the ogres of Kamigawa are more intelligent than ogres of other worlds and possess considerable brute cunning. They originated in the Sokenzan Mountains, though most of their kind later removed to the swamps of Takenuma. Most of these ogres cared for little but to inflict pain, murder innocents, and worship the demonic oni, though some ogres rejected the oni and remained in the mountains were cursed and made outcast by their brethren; some of these joined forces with the ronin of the mountains and became samurai themselves.
  19.  
  20. Akki [Free]
  21. The ‘Little monsters’ are goblins that inhabit Kamigawa's mountains. They are highly territorial and obsessed with fire and mischief. A few akki joined forces with the ronin of the mountains.
  22. Origins:
  23.  
  24. Drop-In: You’ve entered this world without new memories but you could easily gain some of the local skills really quick. You’ll find talent comes to you easily and that things flow from there. Anything from mystical fields knowledge to martial arts study should come to you fairly naturally.
  25.  
  26. Noble: Blood is important in this world. Though with the war getting ready you’d have to be an example of Bushido given form to think you’ll survive when fighting against the Kami. Thankfully you are just that. Through your blood runs the lines of lords, as a human you could count even the incredible Daimyo Takeshi Konda as a cousin. This pedigree has gifted you not only affluence but a vast amount of training and resources. You will be able to say you’re one who has few equals in this world.
  27.  
  28. Ronin: A wandering blade that can find no proper place. Those whose lives have left them drifting on the turbulent streams of war without a lord will find themselves tested. You know this and you’re ready. Whether it is cutting your own path to glory or saving the world, a wanderer has always walked at least one dark path in this Kamigawa. You may be a rogue without a lord but you can have your own honor but you have a dark air about you.
  29.  
  30. Yamabushi [100]:
  31. Hermits in the Mountains, Scholars of the Waterfall Mounting School and many others have the powers of magic upon their side. Usually this is done by creating a link between a Kami and the Yamabushi but with the Spirit World in chaos such blessings are few and far between. Now other methods of magic are being unearthed or researchers and you are at the forefront of such things.
  32.  
  33. Kami [200]
  34. This counts as both a racial and origin choice.
  35. The 'great spirits', specifically the spirits that associate with all things in the world of Kamigawa. They come in an overwhelming variety of forms, even among the same 'species' of Kami, and their brand of magic is mysterious and instinctive, the heights of which are said to be beyond mortal man in this world.

  50. Perks [Origins get a discount on those choices and 100 CP purchases under their Origin are free]
  51.  
  52. Undiscouted:
  53. Mana Seism [100]:
  54. Like with some other arts in the world this one draws power from the land and not the spirits or self. As some tell the tail, this is a power that gives no care for the future as it is deeply rooted in the immediacy of humanity. This power drags the mana trapped within a land out and creates a charge of Mana which can be used to perform great feats of magic, however if this were to be used on a land that couldn’t be normally tapped by a shaman or a wizard for mana then it will ruin the land as it takes all of the plant life within four miles to fuel a single mote of potent Mana and the land will only recover decades after the event in question. On mana rich lands this magic can be used to gain more out of them at the side effect of it taking twice as long for the land to recover, during which you can pull even more Mana out of it but it would be affected as if it weren’t a Mana rich land at that point.
  55.  
  56. Portents and Omens [100]:
  57. It seems you have an innate talent for reading warning in the world around you. Like a form of precognition, this ability is able to send you a warning of incoming dangers and windfalls in such a way that you will be well prepared for it. This power comes in many shapes, but you almost always can figure out it without having too many false positives, though if one were to look to hard they might just start seeing the future in everything from the play of shadow in candlelight to moonlight on water. The best use of this ability is to let it come to you.
  58.  
  59. Jumper of Flesh and Spirit [500]:
  60. You are something akin to the ones who end this grand war. Like the Sisters of Flesh and Spirit you are a union of Kami and Mortal and thus you have become greater for it.
  61.  
  62. Your body and soul are one, in this world even the soul has a Kami that could have been turned against you, and as such you have greater ability to tap into innate powers of the soul even within your mortal coil. Second, you have a greater grasp of Mana, able to tap into the energies that compose the world easily and perform feats of magic beyond common understanding. Finally, this act has affected your origins somewhat, as detailed in each origin.
  63.  
  64. As a final bonus your personal magic, if you chose to have any, from this world in particular is boosted. If you have Duplication Magic then you can easily maintain the reflection for a day instead of an hour, and Summoning now encompasess creatures crafted whole cloth from the Aether in addition to being you’ve made a compact with, though you must still be the greater of the two to command said summons. Kanji Magic become even more flexible and powerful thanks to your innate understanding of nature's symbolism and a more instinctive understanding of how the words describe things and Mana Charge gains the ability to grant ‘charges’ to others..
  65.  
  66. Siblings Across Spirit and Body [200]:
  67. This allows you to exist as two ‘siblings’ at will. One is the Kami of your soul, forming the major part of your spirit, and the other is the original mortal body and now the pair of you exist as two minds and bodies unified and yet able to move and do as you wish, think of it as a perfect clone of yourself though if your other half dies you’ll be dealt a mortal blow in turn, communication between the two of you is done as if you were one mind but two consciousness.
  68.  
  69.  
  70.  
  71. Drop-In:
  72. Swampborne Swagger [100]:
  73. Somehow you’ve learned to be easy to talk to no matter the walk of life that others have taken. Everyone from the child of Daimyo, Assassins who care about nothing, to even the Kami themselves seem comfortable talking to you. This won’t influence how the conversation goes beyond making it easier to communicate your ideas to others.
  74.  
  75. Like Folded Steel [200]:
  76. Whether it’s defeating dozens of samurai with simple stealth tactics, trapping the whilly Soratama in prepared bindings, or fighting a losing war with the Kami you have the ability to adapt and overcome roadblocks in your efforts to both gain enough strength to survive. This manifests in many ways ranging from being prepared enough for chance encounters to lean slightly in your favor to a slight boost in your ability to learn and comprehend skills in a timely manner. In general, you are more ready for what is coming that an average person would be with days of preparation.
  77.  
  78. Kanji Magic [400]:
  79. Kanji are somewhat like Kami, weirdly enough, in that they represent things and concepts and when given power through both their innate symbolism and mana a proper Kanji Mage could do things like bind a Kami’s powers into the written symbols, create massive wards able to house blizzards in a single location, move the targets of curses and spells, and many other things. You have both an innate talent for the use of Kanji Magic as well as it’s teachings, allowing you to figure it out and even maybe teach it to others.
  80.  
  81. Kanji Magic is limited by some odd things though. Like with many languages Kanji has it own personal forms of syntax and grammar, and this is reflected in the use of the magic. Basically if you don’t know WHAT to say you can’t get the effect you want. In addition Kanji Magic is fuel by mana and symbolic meaning held innately within it’s medium of writing. The life-blood of a mage is a strong default, able to reflect a killing blow back upon the murderer, but something rare and powerful like a princesses tears would net much greater results for less mana, like sealing a Blizzard Kami’s Powers into yourself so that you can use them for a while.
  82.  
  83. Acolyte of a Rogue Goddess [600]
  84. Kami Magic is magnified when used for or by the Kami’s Chosen. You are such a person that you have attracted the attention of the Benefactor and in this world, through this perk, this manifests as if you were an Acolyte of a Kami despite the fact that you should be at odds with them. The powers you gain from this are fairly substantial. Ranging from the ability to tap into the mana that the Kami has stored away so that your ability to cast is on the short term epicly expanded to the use of special effects like global teleportation using the Kami’s Home as a waypoint.
  85.  
  86. When taken with Jumper of Spirit and Flesh you have become a Kami of your own right and now have the ability to hand out some weakened forms of your own powers as well as enhance the powers you personally gained from this Perk to incredible gains.
  87.  
  88. Noble:
  89. Having a Pearl Ear and Three Tails [100]:
  90. Simply put you seem to inspire a strong sense of loyalty in those who work directly with you. Not through any strange aura or anything magical but by being a damn good leader. Respect is earned, not given in this world and thus you must first earn the loyalty that this perk reinforces but you’ll find that you are skilled at being a good leader nonetheless.
  91.  
  92. Noble Beyond Question [200]:
  93. You are truly one of the few who can call themselves noble. You actions, no matter their seemingly random or odd nature will be treated with a large measure of respect and people will more often seek clarification on why you did something then skip straight fighting you. In addition to this you have a talent for adding weight to your words, kind of like how some people in this world are just simply really good at making folks listen to their words at the least before starting a fist fight.
  94.  
  95. Bushido [400]:
  96. The Way of the Warrior is one that is defined by it’s virtues Rectitude, Courage, Benevolence, Respect, Honesty, Honor, and Loyalty represent the culmination of a warrior's way of life and when acting within the boundaries of these moral guidelines the Samurai is greater than the sum of his parts. His actions carry greater weight, his attacks become more effective whilst his skill at defense could suddenly boast gains beyond what he has trained for. This effect now encompasses you and like the Samurai of yore you can gain boosts to your raw defensive and offensive abilities when acting within the virtues and you can even train others to tap into this power as well.
  97.  
  98. Divine Right [600]:
  99. You have somehow gained the same powerful effect protecting you as the local Myojin themselves. Whether this was passed to you from a Kami or if it was somehow stolen like That Which Was Taken is up to you but this power manifests in a powerful protective effect that acts as an absolute ward against simple day to day dangers like the common cold and old age, making you immune to such things. Dangers beyond the simple day to day are resisted as well, though not so absolutely, allowing one to survive in the face of dangers that may once have left them slain. A strike that would have cleaved you in two would instead ‘merely’ cut you almost in half and timely use of healing magic could save you if used in the moments you’ve got left. You can pass this power off to others, but it will leave you without it.
  100.  
  101. When taken with Jumper of Spirit and Flesh this perk evolves into a greater divinity, allowing you to pass off this power up to eight times without lessening your own, though going beyond that will only lessen the defences passed on to every person after the eighth, though the increase in defenses just lessens to ‘merely’ the level of extraordinarily hard armor so outfitting an army with this might still be a good idea if you happen to be fighting a war with Kami.
  102.  
  103. Ronin:
  104. No One Looks Up [100]:
  105. Seriously if you weren’t taking advantage of it you’d think these folk needed lessons in detection. As it is the amount of sheer skill that you have in stealth has increased to the point that the average human guard petrols are basically ignorable and even those trained to seek out tells seem to have trouble finding you. Aside from this increase in stealth skill you also have become an expert dissembler, able to break down dozens of patrol routes and spy networks with the effort that most people spare their tea time.
  106.  
  107. Go for the Eyes! [200]:
  108. No matter how tough a foe is there has to be a weak point. Even the most powerful Ogre has eyes that could be stabbed after all. In general you have a knack for figuring out the best time and place to strike and your blows have become debilitating when they aren’t lethal. This feature can be turned off at will.
  109.  
  110. Gauging Pressure [400]:
  111. Patience like the clam sea that eroded the mighty cliffs is something you embody. You could take five to ten years observing the same person to learn their habits and never once feel the grating sensation of impatience. In addition to this immunity to the mundane foe known as boredom you can, with repeated battles, learn more and more about a foe simply by being in close contact, the foe need not think of you as an enemy for this to work on them.
  112.  
  113. Ninja [600]:
  114. It is said that there are no such thing as Ninja. The so-called Shadow Warriors are a myth, but if such beings were truly to exist would they do so openly? You have been trained in the arts of stealth and Ninjutsu, able to call yourself a true follower of the Ninja way. You are so skilled at stealth, that even when standing in plain sight, assassinating seven men, you appear to be doing nothing more than brushing by some folks on a busy day. You tend to surprise people who anticipate power build-up by simply not going through such things. Your attacks are silent and have no ‘tell’ to really speak of, coming out of nowhere skipping build up for sudden results.
  115.  
  116. When taken with Jumper of Spirit and Flesh you have become something beyond a simple Ninja,. Now powers and abilities that would detect you beyond the natural five senses become muted when you are trying to sneak, to the point where someone who can see souls might overlook you or someone else who can feel the vibrations in stone would be blind to you or at worst fleeting.
  117.  
  118. Yamabushi:
  119. Duplication Magic [100]:
  120. This is actually a very common form of magic, though very few other than a single Akki known as Kiki Jiki Mirror Breaker managed to take it to the form that you have gotten it to. Drags you reflection out to be a perfect physical clone of yourself or another, though whilst a perfect physical copy it doesn’t have any of your or the other’s powers beyond what you have via your innate physicality. Only works for an hour before the ‘reflection’ fades away, though you can then make another one. The reflection can die and will does so if killed during it’s time. With training you can increase the amount of time before the reflection fades away.
  121.  
  122. Mana Fount [200]:
  123. You are an amazing individual who can call forth the innate mana of a land allowing you to ‘tap’ into the land for huge gains. Like Ichiga, Who Topples Oaks you can store this power away for later via keeping ‘charges’ this can allow for a massive boost in one’s personal physical prowess if you are willing to expend ‘charges’ to do so, though using more that four charges or store more than eight is currently beyond you with time you could train up from this starting point. The monks of Budoka were able to become hulking being able to smash down even Oni with this power, however tapping land in this way is heavily draining, unless the land is hugely mana rich like those tapped by planeswalkers you may only tap into such power from a land once every ten years, a land in this case is approximately at minimum four kilometers squared land.
  124.  
  125. Summoning [400]:
  126. The art of summoning can allow a mage to make a deal with the Kami, or other beings of spirit, so that they can be summoned. In addition this magic can be used to summon forth and command the summoner’s lessers in a very timely manner, though to command someone or thing you must be of a stronger will and power to do so.
  127.  
  128. At its higher forms this even allows for one to simply create beings that the summoner is familiar with wholly from Mana but this is draining to the average magic users without any form of crutch, such a mana bonds, find such things difficult . Beings summoned this way are temporary creatures born of the Aether and usually don’t last more than a few hours outside the battlefield.
  129.  
  130. Whilst summoning from whole cloth is difficult, when this is taken with Jumper of Spirit and Flesh this magic become easy enough that you could power through a few such summons before needing to tap into outside sources of energy, so proficient are you that you use less energy even then.
  131.  
  132. God Slaying Arts [600]:
  133. These are the so-called ‘dark art’ of the Kami Slayers. On most occasions these magics would be hunted down for destabilizing the natural order, but with the current state of affairs these arts are quite good to know. You have a great talent for the arts passed down in particular tribes of Ogre and mountain dwelling Humans. These arts encompass a series of rituals and skills that culminate in the elimination of the natural order, once such rites are done the user has the abilities (Ex: Rites for these arts are varied and can be anything from quenching weapons in dragon's blood to branding heretical symbols upon the flesh of the victim before unleashing the final blow, however the method it’ll always take a bit of prep work to do properly). A user of these arts could fight like an Oni to slay a Kami and like the dark spirits the Kami’s divine defenses would falter. In more broad strokes this power can be used to make absolute supernatural defenses and immunities into resistances. Other things such as innate resistances would become feeble in the wake of these powerful skills and abilities, this doesn’t stack to make any absolute effect feeble.
  134.  
  135. When taken with Jumper of Spirit and Flesh this allows you to teach these arts, though you will always better at them than those you teach, as well as a training regimen that could take a normal human and enhance their body, spirit, and mind in a number of ways to the point where one taught in these arts would be as tough and strong as an Ogre. After buying this perk you are treated as if you’ve already undergone such training.
  136.  
  137. Kami:
  138. Bizarre Form [100]:
  139. The form a Kami takes is partially representing its connection with the world as well as their own whimsy. This form is an alternate form that is inspired by the forms of Shinto/Buddhism and allows you full customization of its shape inside those parameters, though they are usually grossly affected by their Symbolic Links you are not necessarily held to that standard. The form must be around the size of a human, at least, and can be no larger than five or six story building. This form can become even larger and more powerful, topping out at a body the size and weight of a twenty story building, for a second undiscounted purchase.
  140.  
  141. Spirit Attendants [100]:
  142. Your state in the world creates energy constructs when you will it. These ‘Attendants’ are merely energy constructs formed as extensions of your will and can range a series of shapes from lamps to hands to willow wisps to small sprites. These smaller constructs of your will have enough autonomy to do minor things on their own and at any time you can control it as if it were a limb, disconnection not mattering the least. The largest one of the Attendants can be is around the size of a man’s torso.
  143.  
  144. Symbolic Link [200]:
  145. The existence of a Kami is linked intrinsically to the a facet of the world. The Kami of the world represent anything from Secrets and Shadows to Unspeakable and Unknowable. For free the Kami get access to two such links, which can be used to tap into minor powers associated with those things (Such as teleporting from shadow to shadow within line of sight and learning a secret you’re looking for by looking into it’s owner’s eyes and seeking that secret out), but at least one of which must be the land in which the kami is linked. Additional purchases grant two additional links, to either land types or concepts, from which power blooms. A being of any other origin than Kami that has Jumper of Flesh and Spirit get a free purchase of this as well. Kami with Jumper of Flesh and Spirit will get three free purchases, so six links total.
  146.  
  147. These symbolic links can be used to edit the aesthetics of any supernatural skill you know and having a symbolic link to a land means you can tap into that land’s mana with greater ease, almost erasing the cost of many lesser spells and halving the cost of strenuous spells.
  148.  
  149. Kami in All Things [400]:
  150. As with the beings like the Unspeakable you have learned how to pass on a series of spells or rituals that facilitate instant communication between yourself and the users of these techniques. This ability also allows you to be instantly summoned, if you are willing to be summoned at the time, as well as allows you to have a strong knowledge of the inner nature of anyone who makes claim to worship you, to the point that any who invoke your godly blessing/curses will be as known to you as if you had observed them for a few months.
  151.  
  152. Divine Intervention [600]:
  153. You are, by your very presence, a symbolic and conceptual anchor that allows others to tap into a power that you represent. You and those who pray to you may gain slight powers in the vein of your Symbolic Links abilities, you and those who devote their days to your worship will find their own powers and magics emboldened. Shrines raised in your name will actually be holy/unholy at your bidding and grant benefits and curses as you wish, within the boundary of your chosen Symbolic Links. Whilst these powers can never be greater than city wide effects at their very bleeding edge they are up to you to decide.
  154.  
  155. When taken with Jumper of Flesh and Spirit this power extends to the point where you can create avatars to represent each of your Symbolic Links, forming a pantheon of Kami who serve you as lesser reflections of your Kami-self. Whilst this pantheon is limited to purchases within this Jump they allow for a great amount of delegation.

  162. Gear: [Origins get a discount on those choices and 100 CP purchases under their Origin are free]
  163. Undiscounted:
  164. Least God of Cuteness [50]:
  165. An eight headed jade serpent with eyes like tiny stars, or some other little Kami has joined your journey. Whilst as smart as a fairly mature child this plush Kami’s nature is to be cute and adorable and thus it continues to do so. It can look like any of the known Kami for no extra cost, though they always seem to be plush and adorable by default.
  166.  
  167. Starting Gear [Free]:
  168. Everyone has to start from the beginning. While these tools are for a simple man’s survival you could use them to get your feet under you better. This comes with a cloth bag, clothing appropriate to the area you start in, and a minor weapon of no real significance.
  169.  
  170. Kami:
  171. Honden of Jumper [100]:
  172. Honden’s are the inner sanctums of the Myojin, strongest spirits of the world of Kamigawa besides O-Kagachi, and thus they are places of power. This one seems to be mostly for show though, as it allows you to aesthetically alter the Warehouse to appear like an impressive palace upon a large mountain or something else. The exact details are yours to decide, but you must remember it is still the Warehouse, not a true world. The walls are still there, merely changed aesthetically into a sky box. This interacts with attachments and such in a simple way, allowing you to make those simplistic doors to other places much better looking and you could even make the doors into entire buildings, though then they’d take up space within your limited warehouse.
  173.  
  174. Drop-In:
  175. A Well Worn Jette [100]:
  176. A very useful sword breaker, sometimes used as a badge of office by some. This one has a very sharp tip and is nigh unbreakable by mundane means, though even if it broke you’d find it whole and well maintained the next day.
  177.  
  178. Calligraphy Kit of Exotic Means [200]:
  179. This kit is filled with a series of materials for those who practice calligraphy but in addition to the normal ink-stones and brushes there are a series of bottles that can be filled with special liquids. Once filled with a liquid the bottle will constantly refill with that liquid over the course of an hour. There always seems to be more bottles but it never crowds the kit… somehow.
  180.  
  181. Crystal Blades of Zo-Zu [400]:
  182. This pair of weapons, odd short Naginatas, are formed from clear gemstone and bear a powerful property. These weapons can deflect any magic they block away from the their wielder if the wielder is good enough to get the blades in the way of such attacks. The weapons themselves are incredibly sharp of blade and hard of haft, to the point of being nigh unbreakable. You may import one or two weapons of your choice to gain the aesthetics and/or powers of this on weapons you already posses.
  183.  
  184. Shadowgate [600]:
  185. A mirror which is seemingly made of Obsidian bathed in oil. This mysterious artifact allows its possessor to travel through the shadows as if they were doors to another world and using this shadow realm one could easily infiltrate even the most secure of places with time and effort, or so the folk around here say. In truth this allows teleportation to any shadow in any location that the user knows well enough to give a thorough overview of it’s general description. If you don’t have such knowledge ahead of time then you could try dipping into the shadows for hours at a time and find a shadow to step out of in the general location.
  186. Two things makes this artifact stand above others. First it has no cost. Second, it is unlimited in the distance it crosses as long as the location is in the same Plane.
  187.

  189. Undiscounted:
  190. Least God of Cuteness [50]:
  191. An eight headed jade serpent with eyes like tiny stars, or some other little Kami has joined your journey. Whilst as smart as a fairly mature child this plush Kami’s nature is to be cute and adorable and thus it continues to do so. It can look like any of the known Kami for no extra cost, though they always seem to be plush and adorable by default.
  192.  
  193. Starting Gear [Free]:
  194. Everyone has to start from the beginning. While these tools are for a simple man’s survival you could use them to get your feet under you better. This comes with a cloth bag, clothing appropriate to the area you start in, and a minor weapon of no real significance.
  195.  
  196. Kami:
  197. Honden of Jumper [100]:
  198. Honden’s are the inner sanctums of the Myojin, strongest spirits of the world of Kamigawa besides O-Kagachi, and thus they are places of power. This one seems to be mostly for show though, as it allows you to aesthetically alter the Warehouse to appear like an impressive palace upon a large mountain or something else. The exact details are yours to decide, but you must remember it is still the Warehouse, not a true world. The walls are still there, merely changed aesthetically into a sky box.

  200. A Long Forgotten Gohei [200]:
  201. A simple wooden wand of white oak with a pair of zig-zagging streamers of milky white paper. Used in all manner of rituals that cleanse this Gohei has the special ability to reduce the use of magical energies expended in a spell by a significant amount. In addition, this reinforces beings of spirit in the material realm, allowing them to hit harder and take harder hits.
  202.  
  203. Jars of Stored Prayers [400]:
  204. Prayer and worship grant power to the Kami and now you have a set of jars which can capture and hold prayer. This could allow you do anything from stealing the worship from another Divine being unobtrusively to storing prayer away for another time. These four jars merely need be within a hundred yards of one another and the source of prayer and the prayer will find itself stored away in the jars for another time. These jars are enough to effectively double your strength for an hour if you drained all four all at once.
  205.  
  206. Mask of the Kami Jumper [600]:
  207. This mask makes its wearer take the shape of a common race of the world and cloaks their divine aura. Other than this base deception this mask can be used as a lens to magnify the power of divine casting. This could elevate a simple boon like luck to the point where even the most naive would begin watch in wonder as one good thing after another follows a person around or a power to teleport through shadows could grow to the point where you could go anywhere there is shadow in all the Plane.
  208.  
  209. Drop-In:
  210. A Well Worn Jette [100]:
  211. A very useful sword breaker, sometimes used as a badge of office by some. This one has a very sharp tip and is nigh unbreakable by mundane means, though even if it broke you’d find it whole and well maintained the next day.
  212.  
  213. Calligraphy Kit of Exotic Means [200]:
  214. This kit is filled with a series of materials for those who practice calligraphy but in addition to the normal ink-stones and brushes there are a series of bottles that can be filled with special liquids. Once filled with a liquid the bottle will constantly refill with that liquid over the course of an hour. There always seems to be more bottles but it never crowds the kit… somehow.
  215.  
  216. Crystal Blades of Zo-Zu [400]:
  217. This pair of weapons, odd short Naginatas, are formed from clear gemstone and bear a powerful property. These weapons can deflect any magic they block away from the their wielder if the wielder is good enough to get the blades in the way of such attacks. The weapons themselves are incredibly sharp of blade and hard of haft, to the point of being nigh unbreakable. You may import one or two weapons of your choice to gain the aesthetics and/or powers of this on weapons you already posses.
  218.  
  219. Shadowgate [600]:
  220. A mirror which is seemingly made of Obsidian bathed in oil. This mysterious artifact allows its possessor to travel through the shadows as if they were doors to another world and using this shadow realm one could easily infiltrate even the most secure of places with time and effort, or so the folk around here say. In truth this allows teleportation to any shadow in any location that the user knows well enough to give a thorough overview of it’s general description. If you don’t have such knowledge ahead of time then you could try dipping into the shadows for hours at a time and find a shadow to step out of in the general location.
  221. Two things makes this artifact stand above others. First it has no cost. Second, it is unlimited in the distance it crosses as long as the location is in the same Plane.
  222.  
  223. Noble:
  224. Hair Strung Koto [100]
  225. A twelve string koto, a lap harp strung with the hair of a mad poet, it sometimes plays a mournful tune seemingly to itself. Playing a song on it seems to put people at ease.
  226.  
  227. Moth Rider’s Stables [200]
  228. This is set of stables that are used to raise and rear the giant moths on which the Daimyo’s army flies, which you can set in any location you wish or access through a door in the warehouse. The stables contain an egg sac and all the instructions on the proper care and feeding of Moths as well as the training techniques used in Kamigawa to make these massive moths worthy of battle. .
  229.  
  230. General’s Kabuto [400]
  231. Blessed armor of the Mad Daimyo’s Generals. This wearer of this armor will survive the worst the physical world has to throw at them without even a scratch and magic slides right off this mystically enhanced vestment. The only problems is that the armor itself can be shattered by a canny opponent, leaving you bereft of its impressive defenses for a year and a day before it’ll appear on an armor rack in a property you own or in the Warehouse, at your discretion, and the amount of energy it takes to keep these miracles running is beyond most mages much less those less than magically inclined. A general tip would be to only activate the magics during emergencies.
  232.  
  233. That-Which-Was-Found [600]
  234. A disc of stone, warm to the touch and three feet wide, which has a carving of a dragon coiled in repose upon it’s facings. There is an air of something more to this simple item. In truth this is a prototype to the same disc that allowed That-Which-Was-Taken to be sealed way. With this one’s life will know age only when one wills it so, wounds fade within hours what once would have taken takes, and the power of this stone can even be used to seal away a single being you personally defeated in battle. This sealed being can then be used as a source of Mana, though a strangely Colorless kind which isn’t known well around these parts, tapping the beings lifeforce for power as if it were a land. The greater the being sealed the more Mana can be tapped, though it would take a being on the level O-Kagachi, a being who was the Kami of the Border between the human world and that of the spirits and one of the strongest beings in Kamigawa besides, to get even three Colorless Mana per tapping. Once sealed the being stays within That-Which-Was-Found until such a time that you seal a different being into That-Which-Was-Found at which point the being returns, diminished to it’s original world with no chance of being caught or used in any other way.

  240. Armor of the Lost [200]
  241. Armor that shimmers with an aura of ill intent. Power, dark and murky flows off this armor but it seemingly does nothing except being fairly unsettling. If a person dies, or a corpse is dressed, in the armor they are immediately stripped of all but bones and armor and a new suit appears in your warehouse for your use. Skeleton soldiers made this way are undead. With this armor comes a scroll that teaches how to perform the curses needed to produce this kind of effect on other armors.

  249. Lands:
  250. The lands of this world are rich and mana, which is the easiest way to cast without any risk to the self in many of the magic styles you can learn in this jump. Bonding with a normal land takes days, but these lands available to you will instantly have a bond and their power can be ‘tapped’ once per hour, which may not seem like much but mana from an entire land is enough to fuel army killing spells at the least. You may ‘tap’ a land you are already bonded with for mana at any time, though the sudden upsurge of mana might intimidate some folks. Each basic land may only be tapped for a single mana, two for the named lands.
  251.  
  252. To physically access a land you can either access it through a door in the Warehouse or via summoning the land into the world. People will likely notice you summoning large masses of land into the world so be careful with that. Bonds with lands bought here do not break as you continue Jumping, in case of confusion.
  253.  
  254. ‘Basic’ Land [50]:
  255. Mana rich environments which can be summoned into the world, this may raise a few eyebrows, that comes in five flavors. The classical Island, Forest, Mountain, Plain, and Swamp are available, they need not be those things exactly but they should follow the premise closely.
  256.  
  257. Eiganjo Castle [200]:
  258. The ‘Eternal Rock’ is a fortress that even during the Kami War was never broken, never infiltrated, and never successfully seized. In the heart of a small town, populated by a series of non-entities who can maintain the town and fortress but not much else, this land allows one to draw upon White Mana, the fortress itself is immutable, unchanged in spite of any attacks that would try to destroy it. Must be summoned upon a open plain.
  259.  
  260. Minamo, School at Water's Edge [200]
  261. The School at Water’s Edge is an academy first and foremost. It can be used to draw upon it’s rich blue mana, but more importantly the land brings forth a school that scholars you allow entry can learn of your teachable powers. The school carries with it a large number of teachers who can teach your arts in your stead. Must be summoned upon a great rivier near a waterfall.
  262.  
  263. Shizo, Death's Storehouse [200]
  264. This land is steeped in death. Once verdant and filled with flowers the land has become a monstrous shadow after nearly a thousand samurai were slain upon it. The plentiful blood and harsh rains have made this place into a marsh and the death has made this land rich in black mana. This place isn’t as useful as the others, featuring only a dark past, however during summoning you can arrange this land however you wish, allowing you to create a protective ring of dark, haunted moor around other lands if you so wished, and when we say haunted we mean it, over eight hundred zombie samurai roam this land and even when utterly destroyed they will appear again in a few hours though they will never leave the swamp itself.
  265.  
  266. Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep [200]:
  267. A massive Pagoda, tiered tower, hermitage where Ogre were trained in blood magics and terrible magics such as Oni Summoning. In addition to allowing one to draw upon it’s rich Red Mana, this place allows one to train volunteers into Yamabushi in the classical sense of the word. These folk will develop to be tougher and stronger than many, some may even match Ogre depending on the skill of the teachers in question. Shinka must be summoned on a mountainside.
  268.  
  269. Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers [200]:
  270. The largest temple in the Jukai Forest; whose means ‘Shrine to the Grandfathers’. It is a rich land whose Green Mana could be used in spells. In addition to that, this land possesses the scrolls and teachers of the budoka and kannushi monks, who are willing to take select individuals into their fold to pass the teachings of their ways on. This land must be summoned in a forest.
  271.  
  272. Oboro, Palace in the Clouds [200]:
  273. A free floating palace that during the Kami War was repurposed as a Flagship. It can be used to tap into Blue Mana and it flies around the same speed as a swift steed. It can produce small clouds that are solid enough for entire parties to stand on for a long while and act as a mobile base with relative ease. The Palace in the Clouds can be summoned anywhere there is enough open air to fit it, needing around a square kilometer a few hundred feet of height to be summoned..
