巫女 · Shrine Maiden — The Sacred Woman Who Bridges God and Humanity

A female religious figure who receives divine will, delivers prophecy, performs purification rites, and mediates between gods and humanity. In East Asian fantasy, the shrine maiden is a sacred being who serves at a shrine and is also a formidable warrior in her own right, wielding powerful spiritual energy. In Korean shamanism she manifests as the Mudang (shaman), and in Western fantasy as the Oracle or Sibyl. The shrine maiden's prophecies carry an absolute authority capable of altering the destiny of kings.

盧恩術師 · Runemaster — A mage who inscribes the laws of the world into ancient script

A magical class that infuses magical energy into rune (Rune) characters, inscribing them onto weapons, armor, and environments. Slower than traditional spellcasting, but once a rune is inscribed, it exerts permanent effects — a defining characteristic of durability. Odin of Norse mythology is the first runemaster.

自然祭司 · Druid — An ancient priest who has become one with nature

An ancient priestly class that takes natural phenomena and the cycle of life as their faith, wielding nature magic. They handle all nature-related magic from healing, shapeshifting, and summoning plants and animals to unleashing natural disasters. An absolute authority in forest, mountain, and coastal natural regions.

巫師 · Shaman — A spirit communicator who traverses between the spirit world and reality

A primitive yet powerful class that directly communicates with spirits, ancestral gods, and nature deities to borrow their power. Unlike civilized mages, they wield magic through instinct and spiritual empathy rather than theory. An all-around magical leader of tribal society who handles healing, divination, curses, and spirit summoning alike.

祭司長 · High Priest — The highest religious authority who bridges gods and humanity

The highest religious position who presides over temple rites and receives divine revelations to convey to the faithful. Direct combat is rarer than for healers or clerics, but through the direct divine grace of a deity, the scale and power of their holy magic is incomparably greater. The pinnacle of religious authority rivaling royal power.

占術師 · Oracle — The heavy eyes of one who sees the future

A class that divines events in the future, past, and present through divination. They receive prophecies through various mediums — constellations, tarot, crystal balls, bones, entrails, and dreams. Prophecies always come to pass, but misinterpretation often causes disaster — the paradox of prophecy.
