However, if the party is set up with element-absorbing equipment, the Scholar can provide healing along with damage to foes. A potent strategy involves two Scholars with Absorb MP and a half-damage resistance to one of the Scholars' tomes (so Absorb MP will activate, but to minimize damage). When one Scholar casts a spell, the other will gain the MP used, allowing healing and damage on every turn. A Seer with Illusion, Turbo MP, and Recharge can be used as a substitute due to their naturally high resistance, meaning they take minimal damage from spells such as "Rime Bolt Tome" with the White Robe equipped.
