I am creating a japanese mage who was trained in a ninja clan, but i am having difficulty deciding on what type of magical tradition he should use. I was thinking Shinto, but I am not sure how well that matches with ninjitsu, so I was also thinking of just making him a regular old hermetic.
If you were to design a ninjitsu magical tradition, what would its characteristics be, or is ninjitsu not have a sufficient spiritual base for a tradition, dealing more in the use of magic and less with the origin and nature of magic? FYI, since he is mostly a physical character, he is probably one of the weakest mages you have seen, magic attribute of 3 and all.. |
