Bamboo Sign: Bamboo Spear Dance

Mai Teireida's Spell Card. She dances while holding bamboo in this attack. There are many types of bamboo, but they are all grasses. Even so, they are very useful in a range of applications because of their strong stems. A particularly good use is for nagashi-soumen, where thin noodles are carried down a bamboo slide with ice-cold water, and people pluck them out with chopsticks before they reach the end. Bamboo also makes for good spears because the material is so sturdy and easy to work with. Just remember to take care when handling any, as they are dangerous weapons.
