[edit] Description
The Wushi Ninja are evolved versions of regular ninjas. This happened a long time ago, when ninjas were greatly exposed to magic. After time they began to gain the ability to cast spells. Like regular ninjas they have the ability to specialize in all weapons that a regular thief can use. They also are stronger than a regular thief, but cannot be as charming. The first Wushi Ninja was Nagura Firo.

[edit] Dual-classing
This kit has 2 fairly obvious dual-classing options. Initial Specialization, +1 Strength, Cure Light Wounds, Mirror Image and maybe even Shocking Grasp makes this kit interesting to dual to a Fighter, giving you the required Thief and a Fighter with some extras. The other option is the Mage. You get a Thief as well as a Mage who is as good with Slings/Darts/Throwing Daggers, can start with 19 Intelligence (no limit to the amount of spells you can learn) and gets some extra spells. Weapon Specialisation makes Tenser's Transformation that much better too.
