Spellcraft

Spellcraft is the study and recognition of magical effects and use of the kami. For non-shugenja, the study of spellcraft allows merely the identification of certain spells based on their effects. For shugenja, however, the study of spellcraft provides a non-magical way of spell identification or examination. This allows the shugenja to study both spells that are currently being cast in his or her vacinity as well as to study the residual effects of spells cast hours before, in an area or specifically targeting an individual.
