How to unlock the No Conjurer of Cheap Tricks achievement in MINI NINJAS - Definitive Guide
In practice it comes very easily, mine popped at the end of the second level, without a focus on using magic (Kuji). As your main character, use your spells (fireball, tornado, lightning, find shrine, spirit mode) when in combat and to complete the passive tasks, such as finding hidden shrines and it should pop near the end of the second level.
My best recomendation is to simply enter/start battle with a Kuji (magic) spell, it will cause disruption and chaos, if not 1 hit kill, several enemies and then just follow up with your blade; the resulting kills will usually net you some blue (Kuji) energy, allowing you to use your magic again on the next group.
One final note, if you go for the Boardom and Bear With Me achievements in the first few levels, which I recommend, it will also use Kuji and you can get all three of these achievements asap.
You can see the stamina bar go down in the bottom left hand corner which tells you how much Kuji magic you have left to use.
I got this on level 3 so it is quick and easy to achieve.
This will almost definitely come naturally as you progress through the game, since you'll be using magic fairly regularly. Obviously, if you need to farm this, just use magic. The graveyard in the "Haunted Forest" level is a decent place to go back to if necessary, since you can only defeat the ghost with magic and, once defeated, they drop more Ki.
Will unlock on Level 1 or later
An easy one! You can only get this using Hiro.
Every time you cast a scroll spell by pressing , whether it is 'Detect Kuji shrine', 'Spirit form' or 'Fireball', you will be consuming Ki energy (which is represented by the blue line on the bottom left of your screen). One spell uses more energy than the other. As soon as you've consumed 1500 Ki, you'll get the achievement which will be way before the end of the game. I got it on the level 2, but you can get it as from level 1 in theory.
