[QUOTE="The-Magic-Sword, post: 8253422, member: 6801252"] Indeed, Magic is playing that role in this setting very intentionally-- we have plenty of settings where Martials eschew magic, or represent psuedo-normal human beings. I'm interested in exploring universal access to magic as a tonal element-- to create an anime action fantasy aesthetic, like Psy said. I don't recall the origins of the Ten Tails or its relation to Senjutsu, I was inspired by the earlier explanation, even if it turned out to be false in the context of the series (but i think you're misremembering) Finally, I think it works well for Bards, the game system already makes them occult casters with lots of soul and mind altering magic, as well as shadow stuff. I bridge the gap by focusing on the part of bards I really like, the scholar of esoteric lore, the lorekeeper, and on the idea that music comes from, and touches the 'soul.' Which is a popular conception even in real life. My setting of course, might not be for you, but thats whats cool about it!
