The Ichi form creates three shadows, and the Ni version creates four if a Ninja is casting it. However, Utsusemi: Ni will only grant three shadows to players who are only using Ninja as their subjob. Originally intended as a damage-dealing class, the ninja job was cast into tanking by the players, due to their utsusemi-blinking and the ability to provoke enemy attacks by using Warrior as a Support Job. Ninja also get other spells that allow them to blind, paralyze, and slow the enemy, as well as elemental attack spells, and spells to make themselves Invisible or grant the effect of sneak. All of these spells use ninja tools rather than MP, allowing Ninja to cast without worrying about running out of MP. Ninja themselves have no MP at all, but they do benefit from Support jobs that give them MP, like Black Mage because of the raise in Intelligence. Ninja are the first job to gain the Dual Wield ability, with Dancers, Blue Mages, and Thieves also gaining the ability at later levels. Ninja is a popular support job both for Dual Wield at a lower level and for Utsusemi.
