===Iuchi Family=== The shugenja family descended from Shinjo's magic master who dealt with practically all magical matters on their exodus. Iuchi are wild and carefree nature priests whose signature spells work mostly with movement/travel magic, and communing with animals (especially horses, duh). They also stand out in the Empire for two things. Firstly, thanks to their history, they have a pretty open-minded and experimental perspective of magic as a whole and would readily study and experiment with even foreign styles, which rankles conservatives to no end. And secondly, their signature style of magic: ''meishodo''. By inscribing spells into talismans and convenient devices, an Iuchi is able to cast spells with incredible speed through their spell focuses, extending this benefit to any other caster entrusted with it. There are trade-offs for this power, though. A spell cast via ''meishodo'' can never be modified with further effects such as increasing its power or range. It is also viewed with suspicion as blasphemy because it doesn't derive power from the Kami and Fortunes, but from the power of Names and words used in the creation of the world. And finally (and also unknown to everyone including their own Clan), practicing this art has an unfortunate tendency to further weaken a shugenja's connection to the native magic of Rokugan, making it harder or downright impossible to cast the conventional way even if they wanted to. But despite these drawbacks, the Iuchi still play an important role as the Unicorn's spiritual experts, and are potent force multipliers for their military who prefer subtler buffs such as letting an army march with great speed, silence, or supernatural cover.
