Lark mentions the Qidao people of southern Yanjing and the Ugurulz between Yanjing and the Sea of Grass, and Gyongxin shamans are commonly depicted in Battle Magic.

Shamanistic magic also is heavily based on cooperation between multiple mages. Shamans practice their whole lives to combine their own specialties with those of others to create effects equal to those of most great mages. However, this does not mean that they are unable to work alone. While likely not identical, Pasco Acalon's ambient dance magic is very similar to the magic of shamans. He is unable to travel the vast distances to train with any of them, but they are briefly considered as teachers for the young mage.
