Ninpo
The Art of the Fire Wheels
Location: Chapter 2, at the Altar on your way to the Hayabusa Village
This ability was also in the original Ninja Gaiden games on the NES. Balls of flame circle around you for a few seconds. Any enemies that get within melee distance of you become engulfed in flame, and continue to burn for a few seconds. Unfortunately, the effect seems a little too brief--in most cases you're better off saving your ki for a different Ninpo.
The Art of the Inferno
Location: Purchase this from Muramasa's shop starting in Chapter 2 for 1000 essence
This ninpo is arguably the most useful one in the game. Activate this spell and you'll go into a brief casting animation before you unleash a large fireball upon a target. The fireball can ignite several enemies standing close together. It's very effective on most mini-bosses and boss characters, and you're invulnerable while you're in the casting animation. The only downside is that some bosses can dodge the attack during the casting time.
The Art of the Ice Storm
Location: On a dead ninja in the Great Corridor of Chapter 7.
This ice-based spell creates a whirlwind in a small radius around you, damaging or killing anything nearby. Obviously it's best used when you're surrounded by multiple enemies, but that small range limits its usefulness in most situations.
The Art of the Inazuma
Location: After your first fight with the electric eel in Chapter 10.
A lightning-based attack that can attack multiple enemies and destroy them. This ninpo is as good or arguably better than the Art of the Inferno. Ryu does a short casting animation, and then rises into the air and strikes out with lightning in multiple directions to fry all enemies in the vicinity.
