Asahina Spells

Asahina Spells tend towards the peaceful and defensive type, reflecting the ideals of the founder of the Asahina family Asahina after he saw the errors of his ways. The Crane school is quite close with its Phoenix cousins, and the two will often share spells between eachother. The spells were created by the first masters of the Asahina and, other than the Phoenix, they are rarely shared outside the walls of Shinden Asahina. (Crane p. 115)

Gust of Wind
The Gust of Wind spell manipulates the air around the target deflecting physical attacks or even returning them back on the attacker. (Crane p. 115)

Binding
The Binding spell slows time within a limited area slowing down anyone entering the area affected by the spell. (Crane p. 115)

Awaken the Spirit
The Awaken the Spirit spell temporarily rouses the spirit of an item, making it better at doing whatever it was designed for. It does not function on nemuranai, which already have been awakened. (Crane p. 115)
