Dance of Seasons

 Dance of Seasons  was a water invocation in which the shugenja imparted meaning into subtle intonations and gentle movements, entreating with the kami to change the world around them through a rite that seemed as much performance as invocation. In the dance, the water kami mirrored the movements of the shugenja and shifted the state of the water around them from water to ice to vapor and back again. The water inside of living beings was unaffected by this seemingly gentle invocation, though a skilled shugenja might be able to use it to entrap the unwary, drenching them in the waters of a summer storm and twisting quickly through autumn's tumbling movements before plunging them into the frozen heart of winter.
