Shaman

The shamans differ in many respects from the traditional mage, mainly in the manner in which the shaman's spells are acquired. A shaman's power comes from animal spirit guides, not a divinity. The shaman deals not with altars and devices as would a Priest, but nor does he deal with mundane supplies such as quill and ink or tome. The source of the shaman's power stems from a commune with ancestor spirits. These animal spirit guides serve as the basis upon which the shaman acquires and disseminates his magical powers. Shaman confer with a single animal spirit, usually referred to as their brother and sister, or grandfather and grandmother. They, like the druid, are one with nature. However, shaman can be selfish, eccentric, individualistic or truly committed to a tribe or clan...

In combat shamans make for unpredictable foes. Their capricious gods might aid the shaman's foe or strike down everyone nearby just because.
