- Iaido (居合道 Iaidō), abbreviated with iai (居合), is a modern Japanese martial art/sport. Iaido is associated with the smooth, controlled movements of drawing the sword from its scabbard or saya, striking or cutting an opponent, removing blood from the blade, and then replacing the sword in the scabbard. While new practitioners of iaido may start learning with a wooden sword (bokken) depending on the teaching style of a particular instructor, most of the practitioners use the blunt edged sword, called iaitō. Few, more experienced, iaido practitioners use a sharp edged sword (shinken).
- Iaido gives the Samurai access to several skills, each named after one of the game's katana. To use the skill, the Samurai must have not only learned it (at standard expenditure of JP), but have a copy of that katana in his inventory (not equipped). The Samurai invokes the spirit of the katana (without charge time), which generally deals damage to all enemies nearby, though one (the Murasame) heals allies instead, and a second (Kiyomori) bestows them with Protect and Shell. The downside of the skill is that, occasionally, the katana used from inventory may break. This can be especially bad for rare katana, such as the Masamune. Iaido skills calculate damage using the character's Magick Power value, making this skill a decent second choice for most magick-based classes.

Marquis Elmdore uses a command ability called Sword Spirit, which has the exact same set of skills as Iaido, including the broken-sword drawback.
