Kannagi

Kannagi is one of the classes that can be selected in Elder Tale.

Overview
The Kannagi is a spirit medium who talks with spirits and ancient gods. Because they are able to equip Japanese-style clothing, males are nicknamed Shinto Priests and females are called Miko. This role is basically the Japanese equivalent of a Druid, but on a much weaker scale. However, they can augment other healers of a group, as well as act as battle surveyors.

The Kannagi's healing style revolves around "Damage Interception" that creates barriers around a single ally or a whole group. Thus, rather than healing damage after its done, these techniques prevent damage from being taken in the first place. A barrier placed on a target can completely nullify a predetermined amount of damage. Cast times are relatively long and require lots of practice to get around.

The class's weaknesses are its unique style -- which takes a lot of skill to use -- and its weak heals. Compared to the other healer classes, the Kannagi's healing techniques are the weakest because they focus on damage mitigation. This makes it difficult for it to help a team make a comeback if they are already losing a fight, but the potential benefit of negating damage can give a team a huge advantage in the right situation.

Successfully using this technique in a fight depends on the user's ability to predict the type and range of the enemy, making it hard to master.
