Ancestor spells :

Sodan-senzo interact with ancestor spirits in much the same way that traditional shugenja interact with
the kami. Just as a traditional shugenja first learns to sense, commune with, and summon the kami, so
do the sodan-senzo first sense, commune with, and summon ancestral spirits before ever working with
the kami.
The basic spells of the sodan-senzo use Traits rather than Rings. Each spell has a different base ability.
To successfully cast the spell, the sodan-senzo must roll his Trait plus his School Rank and keep a
number of dice equal to your Trait. Your casting TN is 10 plus the spell's Mastery Level x 5. A sodansenzo
may cast a number of Ancestor spells per day equal to his Honor Rank plus his School Rank plus
two.
You can learn and cast other spells normally. If you wish to learn the standard versions of Sense,
Commune, and Summon you must learn them normally.

Multi-element spells :

A multi-element spell is considered to be a spell of all of its elements. If the character has affinity or deficiency for any of the elements involved, these apply (then if affinity for one element and deficiency for another, they cancel each other out). When a multi-element spell is cast, the caster adds all his applicable rings, divided by the number of elements in the spell, and rounds down. Any free raises or others effects that apply to any elements involved in the spell may be applied to the spell normally.
