Wu jen

Wu jen, also called wu-jen, were wielders of mysterious powers, similar to wizards. In T'u Lung, they were called Fang-hsiang Shih, which translated to "master of recipes".

Culture
They used the spirit forces, elements, and the powers of nature. Usually living in the wilderness as hermits and anchorites, they purified their minds and bodies in order to make contact with assorted natural and supernatural powers in the world around them.

Abilities
The wu jen devoted their lives to achieving a single goal, in a task that required great mental discipline, much like the shukenja. Reaching it usually required the sacrifice of family ties and concerns for honor.

Wu jen spoke the languages of tengu and oni. Their dealings with these creatures granted the wu jen favor in most circumstances.

Wu jen adopted special taboos that appeared insignificant or silly to outsiders, but were vitally important to the wu jen, since they drew their power from supernatural sources. Breaking these taboos resulted in the loss of spells, illness, or other misfortunes.
