Shugenja are priests and scribes that serve as the envoys of the fortunes and kami.The magic of the shugenja is drawn from one of the five elements: Fire, Air, Water, Earth, and Void. They are able to create powerful spells by offering prayers which were written upon scrolls called ofuda.

1st-level Shugenja feature

You gain proficiency in religion, calligrapher's supplies and one simple or martial weapon of your choice. In addition, you learn the Ceremony spell and you can cast it as a ritual. It is a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn't count against your number of sorcerer spells known.

You can also use a special type of holy symbol called Ofuda as your spell focus.

Elemental Spells

1st-level Shugenja feature

Your mystical connection to the Kami infuses you with the ability to cast certain spells. Choose an element you have the most affinity with - water, earth, air, fire or void. You gain a bonus cantrip related to the chosen element:

ELEMENT	BONUS CANTRIP
Water	shape water
Earth	mold earth
Air	gust
Fire	produce flame
Void	guidance

You also learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Elemental Spells table associated with the element of your choice. Each of these spells counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of sorcerer spells you know.

The spells gained from these lists can not be replaced even when you gain a new sorcerer level.

You deeply connect to all the Kami surrounding you and call for their help. As an action, you summon the Kami in a 30-foot cube originating from you. The Kami are intangible and invulnerable, and they grant the following effects within the cube before vanishing:

• The kami restore up to 100 hit points, divided as you choose among any number of creatures of your choice in the cube.
• Each creature of your choice in the cube must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 3D10 damage of the type of your choice: cold, fire, lightning, thunder or bludgeoning. You choose the type of the damage applied for each affected creature individually. On a sucessful save, the creature takes half as much damage.

Once you use this action, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
