These warriors from the far east are masters of espionage, stealth, subterfuge, and assassination, these shadow warriors collected many magical artifacts and arcane books by Deception and infiltrating many different schools of magic stealing, robbing, etc, to gain spells and turning them ninjutsu magic and mastered the arcane arts through writing on scrolls using calligraphy and combining their ninja combat training.

Spell Slots

The Master of Ninjutsu Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
