Rise, Air....No, Not That Much. Just A Bit!

Okay, stupid title. Sorry.

Looking at Path of Waves , one thing added in the big volume of new NPCs and beasties is the 'Tiny Kami'.

I was trying to figure out how you'd summon them - for the sake of simplicity I'd say Rise, Air (Or whatever) with a somewhat lower TN. Since the basic invocation is an eyewatering TN6, I'm thinking 4 or 5 seems fair?

Great title.

Not a perfect comparison, but L5R has the chakai (Tea Ceremony) and chaji (Formal Tea Ceremony) as two separate techniques, even though mechanically one of them is just a stronger-powered version of the other. That makes me think the designers might do the same thing here.

That said, I guess you can summon Zombie Peasants or Zombie Warriors with the same Maho, with the difference being the expenditure of opportunity instead of an increased TN.

If you go the TN route, I agree that 4 or 5 seems right. I'd probably go 4.
