Etymology

While having no direct translation into English, the job's Japanese name of (導師, Dōshi?) has various meanings, often including officiating priests or high priests commonly found in the Buddhist faith.

In the original fan-translations of the Famicom version, the Devout was known as the "Shaman". [view · edit · purge]Shamanism is a practice where a practitioner reaches altered states of consciousness to interact with the spirit world to channel transcendental energies. A shaman is a person regarded as having access to, and influence in, the world of spirits who typically enters a trance and practices divination and healing.
