== History ==
−
Each "Charmer" features a familiar, a Level 1 or 2 monster with the same Attribute as the "Charmer".
+
The original four "Charmers", "[[Aussa the Earth Charmer|Aussa]]", "[[Eria the Water Charmer|Eria]]", "[[Hiita the Fire Charmer|Hiita]]", and "[[Wynn the Wind Charmer|Wynn]]", were first released in ''[[The Lost Millennium]]''. Two packs later, in ''[[Elemental Energy]]'', they had their "[[Familiar-Possessed]]" forms released, and their final forms were released two packs after that, in ''[[Enemy of Justice]]''. "[[Dharc the Dark Charmer|Dharc]]" and "[[Lyna the Light Charmer|Lyna]]", the [[DARK]] and [[LIGHT]] "Charmers", do not follow this trend: "Dharc", which was released in ''[[The Duelist Genesis]]'', did not get his "Familiar-Possessed" form until 14 packs later in ''[[Order of Chaos]]'', and "Lyna", which was released in ''[[The Shining Darkness]]'', did not get her "Familiar-Possessed" form until it came out 28 packs latter in Maximum Crisis. "Dharc" appears to be the only male "Charmer" in the archetype; this is supported by its German, Italian and Spanish names (with the masculine nouns "Zauberer", "Ammaliatore" and "Encantador" instead of the feminine "Zaubererin", "Ammaliatrice" and "Encantadora"), but refuted by its French name (with the feminine "Charmeuse").
−
 
+
== Design ==
−
The "Charmers" also have three more advanced forms: "[[Familiar-Possessed]]", "[[Cataclysmic Charmer]]s" and "[[Spiritual Art]]s".
+
There is one "Charmer" for each [[Attribute]] excluding [[DIVINE]]. The [[effect]] of each "Charmer" allows it to take control of 1 opponent's face-up monster of the same Attribute as that "Charmer" after it was flipped face-up, for as long as the "Charmer" stays [[face-up]] on the [[field]].
−
 
+
Each "Charmer" features a familiar, a Level 1 or 2 monster with the same Attribute as the "Charmer", most being Normal Monsters from the earliest ''[[OCG]]'' sets. They also also have two sets of advanced forms ("[[Familiar-Possessed]]s" and [[Cataclysmic Charmer]]s), and a series of similarly Attribute-centered Trap Cards known as [[Spiritual Art]]s depicting them.

According to ''[[The Valuable Book 8]]'', 「霊使い」 stands for 「{{Ruby|精|せい}}{{Ruby|霊|れい}}使い」 (Spirit Charmer), 「霊術」 stands for 「{{Ruby|精|せい}}{{Ruby|霊|れい}}{{ruby|術|じゅつ}}」 (Spirit Art).

As of recently, released on 2015, the [[Trap Card|Continous Trap Card]] card: "[[Unpossessed]]", released in ''[[Secrets of Eternity]]'' seems to be the only support suitable for each "Charmer" and their respective "[[Familiar-Possessed]]" forms being able to Special Summon any Charmer or Familiar-Possessed of a different [[Attribute]] of a monster destroyed by battle or effect. "Unpossessed" also protects the Charmers from being destroyed by battle, effectively allowing them to use their effects. Furthermore, when a "Familiar-Possessed" monster attacks an opponent's monster it gains 800 ATK points during the damage step.

"[[Unpossessed]]" is the key card of this deck, preventing "Charmer" monsters from being destroyed by battle allowing their effects to be activated, and also to Special Summon Spellcaster monsters with 1500 DEF from the Deck, including not members of this archetype like "[[Injection Fairy Lily]]" or "[[Windwitch - Glass Bell]]".
−
A good way of making sure your opponent has monsters of the desired [[Attribute]] is by using cards that changes them to the desired one, for example "[[DNA Transplant]]" or "[[Scroll of Bewitchment]]". Then you can use the monster you just got from your opponent to Special Summon the Familiar-Possessed or use them for the Charmers Trap Cards. One good strategy is placing the Charmer monster face-down, then using "[[Scroll of Bewitchment]]" to change the enemies monster attribute, Then using "[[Book of Taiyou]]" to flip the Charmer and take the monster. The use of "[[Stumbling]]" is also recommended as your opponent will Summon to try and attack next turn.
+
"[[Awakening of the Possessed]]" increase the ATK of the player's monsters, protect "Charmers" and "Familiar-Possessed" monsters from being destroyed by card effects and also let the player draw a card if a monster with 1850 original ATK is Normal/Special Summoned, including not members of this archetype like the "[[Fairy Tail]]" monsters.

"Charmer", known as "Spirit Charmer" (霊（れい）使（つか）い Reitsukai) in the Japanese version, is an archetype of six Level 3 Spellcaster Flip monsters with 500 ATK and 1500 DEF.

History[edit]

The original four "Charmers", "Aussa", "Eria", "Hiita", and "Wynn", were first released in The Lost Millennium. Two packs later, in Elemental Energy, they had their "Familiar-Possessed" forms released, and their final forms were released two packs after that, in Enemy of Justice. "Dharc" and "Lyna", the DARK and LIGHT "Charmers", do not follow this trend: "Dharc", which was released in The Duelist Genesis, did not get his "Familiar-Possessed" form until 14 packs later in Order of Chaos, and "Lyna", which was released in The Shining Darkness, did not get her "Familiar-Possessed" form until it came out 28 packs latter in Maximum Crisis. "Dharc" appears to be the only male "Charmer" in the archetype; this is supported by its German, Italian and Spanish names (with the masculine nouns "Zauberer", "Ammaliatore" and "Encantador" instead of the feminine "Zaubererin", "Ammaliatrice" and "Encantadora"), but refuted by its French name (with the feminine "Charmeuse").

Design[edit]

There is one "Charmer" for each Attribute excluding DIVINE. The effect of each "Charmer" allows it to take control of 1 opponent's face-up monster of the same Attribute as that "Charmer" after it was flipped face-up, for as long as the "Charmer" stays face-up on the field. Each "Charmer" features a familiar, a Level 1 or 2 monster with the same Attribute as the "Charmer", most being Normal Monsters from the earliest OCG sets. They also also have two sets of advanced forms ("Familiar-Possesseds" and Cataclysmic Charmers), and a series of similarly Attribute-centered Trap Cards known as Spiritual Arts depicting them. According to The Valuable Book 8, 「霊使い」 stands for 「精（せい）霊（れい）使い」 (Spirit Charmer), 「霊術」 stands for 「精（せい）霊（れい）術（じゅつ）」 (Spirit Art). Akina Fujiwara designed the "Charmers", although she did not draw their Cataclysmic forms.

Playing style[edit]

"Unpossessed" is the key card of this deck, preventing "Charmer" monsters from being destroyed by battle allowing their effects to be activated, and also to Special Summon Spellcaster monsters with 1500 DEF from the Deck, including not members of this archetype like "Injection Fairy Lily" or "Windwitch - Glass Bell". "Awakening of the Possessed" increase the ATK of the player's monsters, protect "Charmers" and "Familiar-Possessed" monsters from being destroyed by card effects and also let the player draw a card if a monster with 1850 original ATK is Normal/Special Summoned, including not members of this archetype like the "Fairy Tail" monsters.
