Robin may be the second main character, but he's still not the Lord; I'm pretty sure using Robin is entirely optional while you're stuck with Chrom. Plus the Lord class section is super bloated anyway.

Just because you're
to:
Just because you\'re \"railroaded\" into functionally being a Mage doesn\'t mean Tactician/Grandmaster \'\'is\'\' a Mage. It still has swords and a passable Strength stat when Mage doesn\'t and is still treated as a separate class family. Animations and what the game gives you in the Interlude are irrelevant, especially since the game makes your Tome Rank higher in the Interlude for pragmatic and ATasteOfPower reasons.
\'\'Smash\'\' and \'\'Fates\'\' do emphasize Robin\'s spellcasting, but they both still give Robin his sword (again, Mage can\'t use a sword). In \'\'Heroes\'\' everybody is stuck with one weapon and it lacks a formal class system so it\'s honestly meaningless for this discussion.
Something else to note is that Dark Mage is already separate from Mage because it can use a different type of magic and has a slightly different stat spread. Why can\'t Tactician/Grandmaster also be separate when it has access to a melee weapon (honestly a bigger point of divergence) and a different stat spread?
For Witch: I am admittedly not very familiar with \'\'Gaiden\'\'\'s magic stuff, but I believe there is a lack of formal Dark Magic (I think?) and that makes the classification of Arcanist as a proto-Dark Mage questionable. The fact that Witch coexists alongside Dark Mage in \'\'Fates\'\' as a standalone already shows that it\'s considered separate. Honestly, it would probably make more sense to change the Witch entry to be about Arcanist, Exorcist, and Witch.
