#shait

Encountering and seeing Shai are two different things that are both separate yet intertwined much like Fate itself. For all that Shai is said to remain at the Egyptian's side until their final judgement before Osiris, most cannot see them. So the fact if a Magician can see Shai, already sets them on pursuing the Path of Shai, much like Fate itself.

I doubt there are many magicians of Shai out there, or at least, explicitly state themselves as such because for the most part, they also act as Shai themselves; being ambivalent parties who offer details accounts of each person's actions and intentions; much like Shai being an ambivalent deity who could protect or damn a person as they offer a true account of each life in the Hall of Judgement.

The hardest being a magician of Shai is being able to see one's fate and being able to see others' lists of misdeeds and virtues, but not being able to exactly interfere or address it in the moment. Unless it is an active issue, the Shai magicians are advised/prevented by Shai to judge anyone for their past misdeeds or virtues because their actions in the future have yet to be made.

Shai being referred to as either gender or referred with neutral pronouns in mythology does translate to being a magician of Shai. Whatever form they appear to their magician depends on them, either as a reflection of their own Ren/Soul, or preferences.

Technically Shai is a underworld and fertility/life deity, as Shai is mentioned or having connections with the underworld and spirit, from being an accountant of someone's deeds at the Hall of Judgement, the weighting of the Heart, to being the one who dictates how long one lives and being the husband of Renenutet, goddess of fate and destiny and bestower of secret names, or Meskhenet, goddess of chilbirth and assigned of Ren (name, identity).

As a magician of Shai, they have a talent for using Necromancy, healing magic, death magic, surveillance magic, and Divination magic. With no real pull or advantage over a certain elemental magic.

Necromancy and Death Magic for being Shai being connected with the underworld but it is preferrably used towards non-living entities or demons, as Shai decides when someone will live and dies. Unless Shai decides that someone will die, do not expect Shai's help with Necromancy nor Death magic and if it is used despite their call or not for self-defense if your life or others are at threat of being killed, it has major consequences as you bear the weight of your crimes and the memories and emotions of life that you've just taken.

Healing magic is stronger for magicians of Shai as technically a giver of life and guardian of it. Curses are not neccessarily a talent but it can be seen as one because with Shai's help, magicians are able to see the source of the Curse and who inflicted it because it requires intent and emotions.

Surveillance and Divination magic are a talent for magicians of Shai because as Shai is an accountant of everyone's deeds, this taps into Surveillance magic and Divination as well.

Just because Shai is the determiner of life and he is the husband of those who bestow everyone's ren and secret names, and just because you may or may not be privy to such information, you are forbidden of using somone's secret name nor ren without their explicit permission. Not as in forbidden where you shouldn't, you are unable to actually say it and any attempt to do so will have Shai take matters in his own hands.
