A few good examples of spells with global effects.

I believe that these were it. From my hazy memory it was shugenja 'powered' and for some reason I only associated them (the spells) to Shadowlands characters.

Thanks for posting the example.

Man that was over powered... along with Torrential Rain!

And wouldn't it be cool if in the middle of battle a Shiba with blood spewing from his arm suddenly immolated the opposing army with a quick incantation....

No. It wouldn't. It would be friggin' stupid.

[F]or a Phoenix it would be 'look at all the cool stuff I can do via self mutilation'.

You're really not making an attractive case here.

Nor should anyone expect to. Maho if friggin' DUMB, and no one should know it better than the people for whom it suddenly stopped working as intended.

I'm hoping that Hida Sukune doesn't get turned into a Shadowlands war banner again but understand he was an example of how far the Crab Clan had fallen.

Hoping to see Daidoji Uji again.

Would like Bayushi Shoju to stick around longer this time...

Isawa Tadaka!

If no Shinjo Yasamura that means maybe no Hida Kuon
