'''Shaman''' (シャーマン, ''Shaaman'') is a class that specialises in either Light or Dark magic. The Shaman class first appeared in {{FESK}}, as a female-exclusive class that wields Light magic and Staves and promotes to a [[Sage]]. It was carried on in the form of the Sister class in {{T776}}, but could also use Fire, Thunder and Wind magic. In the GBA games, Shamans could be male or female and wielded Dark magic exclusively, promoting to [[Druid]]s. [[Micaiah]]'s final promotion in {{FERD}}, [[Light Priestess]], was originally called Shaman in the Japanese version.
The '''Shaman''' (Japanese: {{hl|シャーマン|Shāman}} ''Shaman'') is a [[Magic (element)|magical]] [[class]] which was introduced in {{FE6}}. They appear as an offensive magical class available to any gender which only wields [[dark magic]]. These Shamans are a precursor to the modern [[Dark Mage]] class and, like Dark Mages, are a stark contrast to the nimble [[Mage]]s: they have fearsome magical offense further enhanced by the raw power of dark tomes, but in exchange they have low base [[speed]] and are weighed down even more by their heavy tomes. Their defenses are also slightly better than those of ordinary Mages, but are still mediocre which, combined with how easy it is to follow-up attack Shamans, leaves them better equipped to attack at range from behind the front lines. Shamans promote to the [[Druid]] class, and in {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, they also have the option to promote to [[Summoner]] instead.
 
Although they can attack from one or two spaces away in most games, they have low [[defense]] like other magic classes and should generally not be in the front line, where they are vulnerable to enemy attacks.
 
Shamans are basic units and can be promoted. In {{FESK}}, they promote to [[Sage]]s. In the GBA games, {{title|Fuuin no Tsurugi}}, {{title|Rekka no Ken}}, and {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, they promoted to [[Druid]]s. In {{title|The Sacred Stones}}, they also can promote to [[summoner]]s.
