The sha'ir is a variant wizard with an Arabian Nights bent, a wise person and friend of the genies. Unlike a normal wizard, the sha'ir does not get spells from study and spell books but rather has a special familiar, called a gen, to fetch spells for her somewhat like a witch's familiar. However, unlike a witch, the gen does not have a limited repertoire of spells - instead it delves deep into the elemental planes to find any secrets its master may require.

Sha'ir are also friends and confidantes of the genies, and gain the ability to treat with and control genies as they progress in level. Not all sha'ir choose to use such abilities tough, for the genies are dangerous and quick to anger at such treatment.
