Guiding Ring

“For magic wielders and troubadours Lv. 10 and up.”
—In-game description, The Sacred Stones

The Guiding Ring is a promotional item that recurs throughout the Fire Emblem Series, permitting magic users Level 10 and above to promote into the second tier of their respective class lines.

Originally, the Guiding Ring was known as the Bishop's Ring, and promoted all available first-tier magic users into Bishops.

In TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga, the equivalent of the Guiding Ring is the Saint's Proof, an item which promotes magic users into their respective second-tier classes.

In the GBA games, the magical promotion item became the Guiding Ring. Rather than converging all magic users into Bishops, the ring promotes Mages into Sages, Clerics, Priests, and Monks into Bishops, Troubadours into Valkyries, and Shamans into Druids. In The Sacred Stones, the branching promotion system allows the various magic users to promote into alternate classes. In this regard, Mages and Troubadours can be promoted into Mage Knights, Clerics into Valkyries, Priests and Monks into Sages, and Shamans into Summoners.
