English

Cantor

A cantor is someone who leads a crowd in the recital of religious verse and song. This name is presumably meant to allude to the fact that cantors are magically inclined men in the service of the church of Duma.

English
(unofficial)

• Shaman
• Exorcist

• Used in the Gaiden fan translation.
• Popularized by Serenes Forest for the Gaiden appearance. An exorcist is someone who dispels evil spirits, contrary to the Gaiden class's ability to summon evil spirits.

Japanese

祈祷師

Shaman (lit. "prayer master"); alternatively, "faith healer" or "exorcist". In the NES original, it is rendered in hiragana as きとうし. This name is not the same as that of the Dark magic-using Shamans found in the Game Boy Advance titles.
