shining force ii: characters: the shining force: kazin
MAGE Kazin

Kazin, Mage of the Shining Force

Kazin, Wizard of the Shining Force

Kazin, Sorcerer of the Shining Force

Name: Kazin
Japanese: Kazin (Trans: Kazin)
Race: Elf
Class: Mage (MAGE)
Promotion: Wizard (WIZ) / Sorcerer (SORC)

When you first go to Yeel, Kazin the Mage takes you to see his master, Hawel, but on arrival at his house the Force finds Hawel near death, muttering to himself about the Tower. When his master dies, Kazin decides to join your group to avenge the Hawel's death. His Promotion Item is the Secret Book. It is often hard to decide whether to promote Kazin to Sorcerer or to Wizard, because his Blaze spell is incredible at level 4, but ultimately it is up to you to choose.

Kazin's Headquarters Quote:
"Sir Hawel's teachings were very helpful. Strategy was his cup o'tea."

The graphs below show the growth rate of Kazin's statistics throughout the game, starting at level 1 (level 1 stats are based on growth rate if the character joined at any other level). These are adapted from the ASCII/Famitsu Shining Force II Guide Book, and so should be pretty accurate! However, please note that the charts are based on a standard game, in which no extra training is given to any characters. The growth may vary with extra training, and even from game to game, due to the random level-ups.

shining force ii: characters: the shining force: kazin: spells
Magic type: Offensive
Below is a list of the spells learned by this character, and at which level the character needs to be for the spell level to increase. When Kazin is promoted to SORC, all previous spells are lost, and as such the levels at which he learns the SORC spells are purely levels gained after promotion.
Note: the game always assumes that a character has been promoted at level 20. For example, a spell learned at level 37 could be gained at level 37 before promotion, or level 17 after promotion if promoted before level 37. For more info on how the spells work, see the Spells Page.
