Magic Knight
Appearances: FF5, FF9, FFX-2, FF12RW, FFTA
Aliases: Sorcerer, Mystic Knight, Warrior, Gladiator, Warmage
Magic Knights combine great strength with the ability to assign elemental affinities to their weapon (such as Fire, Water, Holy, etc.) In effect, it allows you to make a physical attack and a magic attack at the same time. However, enemies that are invulnerable to elemental affinities, or certain types of attacks will receive the same damage as if the attack were one or the other (e.g., if a snake absorbs ice damage, it will absorb the damage from an Ice Sword Magic spell). They're a little weaker than knights, but make up for it with their stronger attributes in magic power and magic defense.
