Utsusemi: Ni

Utsusemi: Ni is a Ninjutsu spell in Final Fantasy XI.
It creates four (for main-job Ninja) or three (for subjob Ninja) Copy Images that absorb attacks directed at the caster, causing them to miss completely. Utsusemi status guarantees that each copy image will cause a single physical hit to miss (with some exceptions for certain enemy special abilities, like Spiral Spin, which ignore shadows without erasing them), and Utsusemi also protects from single-target magic spells and attacks, causing them to miss, with some exceptions for special abilities, like for Ifrit's Meteor Strike. Utsusemi status will be instantly erased by -ga spells, such as Firaga and Sleepga.
The Utsusemi spells are one of the two main lures that makes Ninja; even those who wield two-handed weapons such as Samurai and Dragoons will often use /Ninja to avoid enemy attacks.

The tool for this spell, "Shihei", means paper soldier. This alludes, presumably, to a paper decoy.
