Galuf from Final Fantasy V as a Geomancer.
The Geomancer (風水士, Fūsuishi?, lit. feng shui soldier), also known as an Elementalist (精霊使い, Seirei Tsukai?, lit. Spirit Tamer) or Taoist, is a Job class that appears in various games in the series.
Profile
Geomancers use bells as weapons, and equip light tunics as armor. They can walk across dungeons without fear of traps like pitfalls, or damaging floors like lava. Their signature skill is Terrain, which lets the Geomancer execute special attacks based on the terrain the party is fighting on.

Etymology
Geomancy (Greek: γεωμαντεία, "earth divination") is a method of divination that interprets markings on the ground or the patterns formed by tossed handfuls of soil, rocks, or sand. Geomancy is derived from the roots geo- (Earth) and -mancy (prophecy). Geomancy was one of the original ways to translate Feng Shui, since it predicts things by the elements similar to astrology with the stars.
Its Japanese name, Fūsui or Fūsuishi (風水士), refers to the Chinese feng shui. Etymology:Feng Shui This is why Geomancers equip bells as weapons.
