Magic Abilities and You

Dear Heroes of Light,

Cid asked The Adventurer and me to put together a list of magic spells to make it easier to choose your jobs based on these abilities. I should state first of all that we didn't always have an exact way to measure which spells were stronger than others (such as Fire Breath or Flamethrower), so some of it is just an estimate. We sorted the list into three categories: spells against a single target, spells against multiple targets, and energy-based physical attacks. Each list is sorted by the element involved: Fire and Ice are opposing elements, as are Thunder and Water, Earth and Wind, and Light and Dark.

Some of you already know this, so bear with us. The list is mostly for those (like me) who don't really deal with a lot of magic back home.

Keiko,

I swear Cid did this to annoy me. It must be because last time I passed his test without any problems.

But, I have you to thank for this new Scholar job.

... now I need to start studying. Again.

Keiko,

Thanks a lot. It was really helpful.

If you want, swing by my house later, I've got some treats you can share with your household. A-14.

Thanks for this. It'll definitely be useful once I decide to choose on my second class.

I actually haven't made my final decision yet; I've been debating on something magic-based since I don't have any former knowledge on physical hand to hand combat. That way I can protect myself and the others I care about better while I learn what combat style fits me the best.

... Yeah, I've been here for six months already, and honestly, the only reason why I haven't chosen a second job yet was because of my indecisiveness. I'm also a little worried as to what could possibly happen if any fighting instincts kicked in on my part; primarily due to the fact that I have gaps in my memories.

Yeah, that's right. Well, there was a huge group of us; so it's fine if I was missed.

I've visited the lab, and unfortunately not all of the information was there.

Keiko,

This is a really impressive list. It's thorough enough to be a FAQ. How long did it take you?

-Chiaki
line_piece: (hmmmm)

[personal profile] line_piece 2016-03-28 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Keiko,

Yeah, a lot more than most games I've played. But it's never a bad thing to have lots of choices. It means you can really customize your skills a lot.

Dear Keiko,

Thank you for making this list. I will have a copy at the old observatory so that any who might arrive in the future might also use it.

I hope that is alright.

Dear Keiko,

Yes, thank you. I'm glade he's thought of it. I've been gathering information but I've never thought to collect something like this.

Keiko,

Ah, you beat me to it. These are quite useful and you even have them in organized categories.

This certainly helps a lot.

Thanks Keiko.

Keiko,

Yes, it's mostly for the spells I have acquired through the Black Mage Job Class. I wish to know more about it so that I can further enhance my abilities in that regard. I wouldn't mind studying with you as you know.

I'm doing fine. They're a noisy bunch but nothing I can't handle. I see. A White Mage Job will be helpful to others. I wish to pursue that job class in due time.

Keiko,

Yes I did. It wasn't too different from my Seraphic Artes, so it didn't take too long to adjust to. I can always give you a few pointers on how to channel your mana better among other things if you wish.

I will. Thank you Keiko. You've been quite helpful as is. Feel free to stop by our home whenever you wish.

Keiko,

Certainly. I wouldn't mind if you do. I'll let everyone know you will be coming so they can at least be presentable.

Yes, I am. You don't need to worry about me.
