Kanami

Maria

 * Starts at level 21, caps at level 35.

Shizuka

 * Starts at level 22, caps at level 56.
 * Uses a variety of high-damage spells.
 * Late into the game, she temporarily gains Level 3 magic.
 * Every batlte in which Rance gains exp, she will lose exp equal to the amount that Rance gains. E.G. If Rance gains 100 exp, Shizuka will lose 100 exp in that battle. When Shizuka hits 0 exp, she will revert back to Level 2 magic. Running away from enemies will prevent Rance from gaining exp and can be used to save her level 3 magic for the harder fights later on.

 * lv 30: Electromagnetic Barrier

 * lv 45: Snow Laser (replaces Fire Blast)
