Charmer " Charmer " , known as " Spirit Charmer " ( い " Reitsukai " ) in the Japanese version , is an archetype of six Level 3 Spellcaster - Type Flip monster s with 500 ATK and 1500 DEF . There is one " Charmer " for each main Attribute . The effect of each " Charmer " allows it to take control of 1 opponent ' s face - up monster of the same Attribute as that " Charmer " for as long as the " Charmer " is face - up on the field . Each " Charmer " features a familiar , a Level 1 or 2 monster with the same Attribute as the " Charmer " . The " Charmers " also have three more advanced forms : " Familiar - Possessed " , " Cataclysmic Charmer s " and " Spiritual Art s " . 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 " ) . As of recently , released on 2015 , the 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 . According to " The Valuable Book 8 " , " 霊使い " stands for " 使い " ( Shaman ) , " 霊術 " stands for " " . Akina Fujiwara designed the " Charmers " , although she did not draw their " Cataclysmic " forms . Charmer Deck . 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 .
