shining force ii: characters: the shining force: tyrin
MAGE Tyrin

Tyrin, Mage of the Shining Force

Tyrin, Wizard of the Shining Force

Tyrin, Sorcerer of the Shining Force

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

After you've spoken to Creed and Evil Spirit, you can choose one of 4 characters to aid you in your quest. Tyrin the Mage is one of these, he was also the leader of the people on Floor World. If you don't pick him, you can recruit him if, after you get the Sky Orb, you go back to Creed's mansion. His promotion item is the secret book. While Karna is usually considered the best to choose of the four, Tyrin should not be underestimated, he can become a strong spellcaster and a valuable asset to your Force.

Tyrin's Headquarters Quote:
"My powers should be a great help to you!"

The graphs below show the growth rate of Tyrin'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: tyrin: 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 Tyrin 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.
