Why hello! Â As someone who has a character that was raised in that path and followed that trade for many years before taking up the lance, I can safely and sadly see this thread has about most of the lore on it. And you've taken the same idea with Raine that do with Tris: Â "This is what/how he learned, not how the Ala Mhigan shamans are." Â It works given his mother was an outcast and broadly considered a "witch" by the locals of the time.
To Teadrinker's point, I followed some of the same logic. Â Anything healing is really more an herblism/wortcraft kind of thing. Â I actually look at the alchemy recipes and wing it by dumbing them down with the basic ingredients, then adding the RP flair of smelling like a goats ass.
For magic, during the few and rare times you will see Tris put it to use instead of the lance? Â Look to 1.0 Conjuration spells. Â They are more fitting to the idea both highlanders and the Ala Mhigans being a rough and tumble sort of people. Â Note that the spells are almost entirely offensive.
Still, I'm being careful with this. Â While it satisfies the druid/ranger/pathfinder archetype I was wanting with Tris, I am fully prepared for lore to roundhouse his face as well. Â It's a sparsely mentioned element of Ala Mhigan life, notably in the Cactuar Piss quest. Â So I have to take a balancing act with it, and use some of my storytelling dynamics for the character to be not so upfront about being a shaman.
I would love more lore on it, and maybe Stormblood might toss of a few bones on that.
(if you see what I did there you get a cookie)
