Etymology[]
The ability's name refers to Japanese swords and warriors being associated with Shinto, a religious belief system where all elements of the world are embedded with spirits. It was said that swords were a source of wisdom and emanated energy to inspire the wielder, and that a part of the swordsmith's spirit was transferred into the blades they crafted.
