Ninja Shaman

Ninja shamans are among the deadliest of assassins. They combine the ancient arts that allow mortal men to communicate with and use the power of spirits with the ancient arts of killing people silently and awesomely. Ninja shamans will not only kill you, but they will take your soul, store it in a shuriken, and use it to perfect the aim and power of said shuriken when they hurl it into the throat of your loved ones.

Ninja shamans are capable of using ghost energy in a myriad of ways, all of which are either extreme, badass, or, most frequently, both. Ghost energy can be used in several ways...

• Enchanting a weapon to improve accuracy or strength
• Cursing the target with maladies, if the target is badass enough to survive the attack (a particular favorite is causing nightmares and hallucinations so intense your eyes bleed)
• Healing the ninja shaman or his/her allies
• Granting invulnerability or stealth

Spirit energy tends to fade after a period of time, but this is generally not a problem, as the ninja shaman usually produces at least two or three ghosts with the power granted from one.

The most extreme of ninja shamans are capable of using the energy from Ultraghosts, enhancing their various abilities. Whilst a normal Haunted Katana can potentially cut through a robot made from reinforced Extremium with no difficulty, one powered by Ultraghosts will cause said robot to explode after a delayed reaction, allowing the ninja shaman to strike an awesome pose while doing so.

The only form of ghost that ninja shamans are incapable of using to their own means are Ghost Ninjas. This is partly due to respect for their fallen ninja brethern, and mostly because Ghost Ninjas are the only form of spirit that is kickass enough to resist the thrall of the ninja shaman.

Ninja shamans, as a general rule, are extremely rare, being that they are too badass for most normal ninja to become. However, they are among the most highly respected and extreme of the ninja because of it. If a ninja shaman has been sent to kill you, you should treat it as a compliment of the highest order... at least, in the three seconds you have left to live.
