Shaman is the name of two separate classes in the the Fire Emblem series.
The first version of the Shaman class appeared in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, examples of which being Deirdre and Julia. This rendition uses light magic and staves, and promotes into a Sage. This class appeared in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 under the name Sister (Shaman in the fan translation) and could use Fire, Thunder, and Wind magic in addition to Light and staves.
The second and more well-known rendition of the Shaman class was first seen in Fire Emblem: Binding Blade, later becoming a mainstay class in Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, the other GameBoy Advance installments. They use Dark Magic, and promote to Druids. In The Sacred Stones, shamans were capable of alternatively promoting into Summoners.
