+
+## Visual Decision
+
+Nanman storm shaman v1 is accepted as a wind/lightning tactic variant. The indigo robe mass, pale mask, storm staff, and contained lightning charms distinguish it from both the base and ember shaman sprites at battle scale.
+
+## Technical Checks
+
+- Base partial alpha: `0`
+- Action partial alpha: `0`
+- Base frame border hits: `0`
+- Action frame border hits: `0`
+- Base empty frames: `0`
+- Action empty frames: `0`

+- Action bbox height range: `240..290`
+- Action bottom range: `303..303`
+- Local build: `passed`
+- Local browser console errors: `0`
+
+## Notes
+
+The lightning details are bold enough to read at 50px while staying contained inside the frame. The sprite remains fully opaque and stable without external bases, rings, or badges.
