The Jitte Forms

 

Sometimes known as "templates" in other dialects, the Jitte Forms are the structures that form the basis of a Jitte Warrior. All of the Forms assume that the warrior is of Sho heritage. This has a practical, as well as philosophical, aspect to it: many of the Jittes that have been crafted with enchantments have spells on them that allow those enchantments to only be used by a Sho. It is thought that this harkens back to troubled days when such precautions were taken to prevent the warrior's weapon being picked up by a foreign enemy during battle and used against him.

As with poetry, the Forms are voluntary structures. Just as a Haiku's structure is adhered to voluntarily, so is adhering to the Forms. The Forms are guides, yet each Warrior must follow his or her heart toward the Way. All the Forms are designed for the Warrior to advance on their own, since their journey is their destination.

As time goes on, more Forms may be rediscovered. Currently, these are the known Forms:
