Blue Mage

Appearances: FF5, FF6, FF8, FF9, FF10, FFX-2, FF11, FFTA, FFTA2
Aliases: Gun Mage

This class may have evolved from Scholar, but with extremely increased usefulness. It is the first job class of its kind to be able to cast spells and abilities of other monsters. These spells range from very weak to very powerful, but they are difficult and time-consuming to obtain. In most cases, the Blue Mage has to be attacked with the spell in order to learn it, which becomes a problem with powerful spells and spells meant for healing. With random enemy encounters, this class can be one of the most challenging, but most fun.
