If this is the case, I would look to conjury for some influence since it uses aether from the environment rather than from yourself. Conjury is also not limited to the three elements it uses in-game, so there's no reason you can't use fire, lightning, ice (i honestly don't even remember what buttons to hit for this ability), or shurikens(???).
If I decide to include these mechanical abilities IC, they'll be conjury instead of ninjutsu, though I don't see myself using them heavily.
I imagine the Domans developed their own ways, so if you're a practitioner of ninjutsu as described in the game, you can flash some gang signs and make it happen.
I think conjury/the practice thereof would definitely have some sort of influence considering eastern customs. The quest basically tells you that they believe their gods are in their surroundings and they use Mudra to borrow the aether/elements of those surroundings. Really, I don't think the characters should be limited to game mechanics. It just seems that conjury has their powers given to them by the elementals and the ninjas use the power of tupac to force/coerce the elements.
