Shamanism, also known as «lesser magic,» is what savages and people deprived of magical talent resort to. Shamans use plenty of ingredients, amulets and other «magical» paraphernalia for their rites, relying on the properties of various substances released by means of a special ritual rather than on their own magical power.
Shamans themselves attribute the effect of their spells to the will of the spirits or some higher beings, which may not be far from the truth. The shamans' magic has not been fully explained and the effects of certain rituals cannot be ascribed just to the properties of the mixed ingredients.
Shamans tend to avoid the melee, showering their enemies with «Spirits' Furies,» «Ancestral Curses» and other hard-to-pronounce «spells» from a distance. Nevertheless, the shaman's magic is fairly powerful and capable of dealing great damage to the enemy.
