Shaman's aren't always Voodoo. A similar rank to Shaman would be Seer, but that's more lore orientated then magic orientated. Think of it this way. I'm looking for a good "archetype" names for magic student, good magic caster, powerful magic caster. The Archmage is a special rank for the ministry leader and is sort of a special case. You don't have to worry about requirements for that rank.

Orc Shaman would be an individual RP rank under the archetype rank of Shaman. You could address yourself as an orc shaman, but to keep the rank system trim and understandable, I would not actually make the Orc Shaman rank.

I was toying with the idea of Apprentice, Shaman, Spirit Shaman, and Shaman King, but that would A: Leave Apprentice the odd man out B: Way too many Shamans C: Too many people view Shamans as being withdoctors, voodoo practioners, or medicine men and would create too much of an RP bias.
