From the fakirs who are able to create illusions so powerful as to convince entire crowds of people of their existence to the ancient Taoist sorcerers who were able to change the course of mighty rivers with the aid of their massive stores of chi power and powerful spirit entities, the land of the rising sun has been the home of some of the most powerful sorcerers to ever walk the earth. Abe No SeiMei, a powerful Taoist sorcerer in his own time (February 21, 921 A.D. Ð October 31, 1005 A.D.) was said to wield many extreme abilities, one of which being able to control shikigami (a form of highly specialized thought-form) with apparent ease. This ability was the result of his powerful connections to the streams of Asian Magic.
