Calligraphy

Knowledge of techniques: knows the notation of every jutsu you can perform or whose scroll you have read (no school or nature requirements), and writes their scrolls for others (E→S). Tags, chakra ink, chakra paper, blank scrolls. Adds power to Fūinjutsu techniques.

秘

That's not all

Calligraphy has 13 hidden recipes more that aren't listed here. Each is unlocked by its own document — a design — that you have to find in the game: in rogues' loot, in the chests of camps and dungeons, or as a quest reward. Double-click it in your backpack and "Learn". Plus 186 technique scrolls: a calligrapher writes out a scroll of every technique whose notation they learn.
