| - The Shindanjuu is a term used for the weapons used by the Letter Bees. The Spirit Amber, is a powerful amber stone that when loaded into a Shindanjuu, has the power to allow its user to fire a heart bullet from it and comes in a wide range of colors with different abilities, drawn from the power contained by the spirit insects trapped within. The Shindanjuu needs both the amber and the heart to function. "Letter Bees use a variety of weapons and tools in concert with their heart to protect themselves from Gaichuu. One item, the Shindan, is a bullet made from a fragment of a Letter Bee's heart. Spirit Amber is inserted into the Shindanjuu- a kind of "heart gun"- and serves as the catalyst to form the Shindan. Letter Bee Gauche Suede once said, "The Shindan only appears as a bullet- but it's actually heart. Even though it's not live ammunition, we still load the cartridge to help control the concentration of heart and the power of the Shindan." The Shindan is a powerful weapon indeed, but it has its risks. Using too much heart can lead to a dangerous fatigue. The Shindan can also aid in recovery from illness or injury, and it has many other uses. The qualities of the heart differ from person to person." -Tegami Bachi Volume 1 by Hiroyuki Asada
