Nero and Sounssy talk about mudra and the like here from the lore in-game. http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread....#pid249116 Show Content Spoiler Nero Wrote:Peasants By Day, Ninjas By Night Wrote: Oboro We draw power from the world around us─the heaven, the earth, and the hearts of man─and channel this power into physical form. I am told that this is similar to your concept of...ay-ther, was it? I must confess that Eorzean words and ways remain unfamiliar to me. Oboro How does one channel this power, you ask? Through the use of mudra, hand gestures that call forth each of the three forms of energy of which I spoke. The first mudra I will teach you will call power from the heavens. In Doma, we call this Ten. Nero The use of mudra allows a shinobi to shape aether to various physical forms, whether it be a giant shuriken, a vertical bolt of lightning, a ball of fire, or so on. It is unknown if any additional mudras or ninjutsu techniques exist among Doman shinobi outside of those available in-game. Using mudras is known to exhaust the spirit, and additional time is required to settle the mind sufficiently to use mudra again. It is emphasized that one's mind and focus must be clear in order to properly utilize mudra, or the ninjutsu will fail. This limitation is surpassed when a shinobi utilizes Kassatsu, although that too has limitations. +(a lot more discussed in the link above) So it tends to be both use of the NIN's personal 'spirit' as it were and elemental involvement. While I very much like the lore book (I own it) I will admit it is very abridged. Afterall it is a supplement. The best way to get lore resources is honestly to play through the class; or replay it if you have an alt and have the time. There is so much that is not covered in anything more than brevity in the lorebook vs. ingame lore. Talking to NPCs, even minor ones (as one npc goes over the rankings in full) help a lot too.
