Scholar is unique in being able to provide competent magical offense or healing the party as needed, though not both at the exact same time. One would assume Scholar to be a clone of Red Mage, but this simply isn't true. Scholar is more like a mage that can transform between White Mage and Black Mage almost completely at will. In fact, that's exactly what the job is. As both a main job and a support job, Scholar fulfills any role very well. Let's say for the sake of example, your puller accidentally linked a pair of crawlers, and you're the only mage your party has. In an instant, you boost your enfeebling magic and all black magic proficiencies and open up with a Sleep spell. You fire off some quick enfeebles like Bio and Poison on the party's main target, but then you notice the puller s

abstract	Scholar is unique in being able to provide competent magical offense or healing the party as needed, though not both at the exact same time. One would assume Scholar to be a clone of Red Mage, but this simply isn't true. Scholar is more like a mage that can transform between White Mage and Black Mage almost completely at will. In fact, that's exactly what the job is. As both a main job and a support job, Scholar fulfills any role very well. Let's say for the sake of example, your puller accidentally linked a pair of crawlers, and you're the only mage your party has. In an instant, you boost your enfeebling magic and all black magic proficiencies and open up with a Sleep spell. You fire off some quick enfeebles like Bio and Poison on the party's main target, but then you notice the puller sustained a large amount of damage. You switch to Light Arts and throw a few quick Cures on him, then Regen II on the tank. Cure him a few times and then start resting. Then, oh no! Just before it died, the crawler just used cocoon, but no one can dispel it. You switch back to Dark Arts and fire off a beautiful set of nukes to close the fight. And because during all this, you've been conserving 10% MP per spell, you have enough to take on the next monster with no problem. But wait, the crawler got a quick double-hit on the damage-dealer, then used poison breath and knocked him unconscious. You have enough MP to Raise, but do you have enough for the end of the fight? You're the only mage, are you sure you have enough time? Of course you do, you have Stratagems. Light Arts, Penury, Celerity, Raise! The damage-dealer stands up just in time for you to switch back to Dark Arts and finish it with a powerful spell. And hey, all that was without using your two exclusive spell-lines. One of which changes the weather around its target to whatever you'd like, opening latent effects on its target's items and making its target's weapon skills and spells more powerful. And the "Helix" spells, which are sometimes referred to as the Ancient Magic of enfeebling, deal large amounts of damage over time. Scholar is a fun job that takes wit and strategy to use properly. Please note: This is only a guide. Please add anything if it is needed, and take away anything that is either untrue or not needed.
