After the morning duties are completed, a handful of sensei gather the shugenja and bring them to a small secluded part of the parade ground on the southern portion of the complex. They begin the lessons by first going over prayers that can entice the kami, as well as specialized words or terms that a normal rokugani would not know, but make it easier to converse with the Kami. Then, they ask each student to attempt to use their prayers to locate a kami in the area, commune with it, and then manifest it.
NOTE: Monks are NOT spellcasting, but this event represents their inherent mystical ability to interact with the elements. For rules purposes, they can use the three spells as if they were a shugenja. ((YOU DO NOT GAIN SENSE, COMMUNE, OR SUMMON OUTSIDE OF THIS EVENT))
This is a repeatable event, and will happen over multiple days. Each day, you must select a Ring to use, at which point, you may not use that ring again for this event. Players should make a note in their Personal Forum with a topic called "Daily Spellcasting Training " and note which days they used each ring.
