Kitsune Shugenja School
Summoning flying animals uses the Air Ring, summoning swimming animals uses the Water Ring, and all other animals use the Earth Ring. A summoned animal spirit is friendly towards you and those with the Blessed by the Realm (Chikushudo) advantage, ambivalent towards others, and hostile towards those with the Curse of the Realms (Chikushudo) disadvantage. Summoned animal spirits will defend you from immediate harm and attack easily indicated enemies, but are otherwise still animals and will react to stimuli as appropriate. Note that the Summon spell is permanent; if you summon an animal, it will remain in the area until it chooses to leave or is driven away. This technique works only in locations that have some connection to Chikushudo and thus will not work on space ships or on space stations save in very unusual circumstances where such a connection exists.
