The Aisenshi, or unity warriors, distinguish themselves by their honor and their singleminded devotion to the use of a single weapon form.

To use Aisenshi powers you must have the philosophy skill.

The Aisenshi require you to maintain an ordered outlook to advance.

The Aisenshi communication channel is accessed with the commands 'aisenshi' and 'guild'.

Help files are available on the following topics:

You say, [- I seek the path of the Aisenshi -] in beautifully-accented Anglic.

Musashi says, <> If one would study with a master, it is customary to make a gift appropriate to the teacher's stature. <> to you.

You give **the gift** to Musashi with your right hand.

Musashi bows slightly to you.

Musashi says, <> Domo arigato gozaimas. <> to you in Kyotsugo.

Musashi says, <> Your gift shows respect. If you still seek the path of the Aisenshi, say so. <> to you in Kyotsugo.

  A new ability, chi shield, has been added. 

  The repair command has been revised to work more
  appropriately for weapons of different materials.

  located in the general vicinity of his old island

Spoiler warning: information below includes details, such as solutions to puzzles or quest procedures, that you may prefer to discover on your own.


Required Specialties

Note that an aisenshi needs to choose a "devotion" weapon skill. The list below show dagger as such skill.

			[min..]max	bonus	attribute
REQUIREMENTS AND BONUSES
Calligraphy		1..10			Dexterity
Discipline		2..15		+1	Willpower
Dagger			8..100		+5	Dexterity
Dodge			2..15		+1	Dexterity
Literacy		1..10			Intelligence
Martial Arts		2..15		+1	Dexterity

Kyotsugo		1..10			Intelligence
Philosophy		2..15		+1	Intelligence
Practice		1..10			Willpower
Precision Strike	2..15		+1	Perception
Scholarship		1..10			Intelligence

So, with the devotion also counted in, that is total of 6 dexterity, 4 intelligence ,3 willpower, and 1 perception specialty points.

The gift

Do not overthink it. It is simpler than first feels. Musashi will happily accept many a thing one might not consider "worthy". The gift doesn't even need to be expensive or rare. Use your imagination and try. If he doesn't accept it, he will politely give it back to you (or at least tries to, if you haven't trusted him, he will just drop the item).

Some real spoilers in the end...
