Shugenja get to choose their spells, everyone gets a pretty standard outfit, varying in quality according to your Profession and Clan, and the character is ready to go.
The basis of Rokugan magic is very well described; on the surface, shugenja appear to be much like traditional fantasy wizards, carrying scrolls around from which they read off spells that do everything from increasing strength to turning the target into a jade statue.
However, shugenja are really just invoking the favor of the spirits, who can be capricious.

When I saw the Earth Shugenja, however, I wondered if she was worth the wait.
This warband is weak against high-AC foes who are immune to paralysis, such as Helmed Horrors and Duergar Champions, because the Mercenaries have difficulty hitting and cannot count on the paralysis breath to assist.
