Mage Comparison

Category:Guides
 
UNDER CONSTRUCTION (adding Geomancer to the list as well)
There are five magic based jobs that utilize and share Magic Spells. This page is simply a visual comparison between BLM, WHM, RDM, SCH, and GEO. These are not the only jobs that use spells, but they are the five magic based jobs that share spells. Example: BLU has spells, but none of the other magic based jobs use them. Again, this chart is only a comparison, not an opinion of which job is better or worse.

The color cells indicate a job that shares the spell. Some spells are shared between more than two jobs. Since BLM and WHM are the jobs that are "specialized", I used those as the color identifier for spells that are shared between more than two jobs. (Example: Cure is shared by WHM, RDM, and SCH. In the RDM column, since I can't fill a cell with two colors WHM and SCH, I used the WHM color to label it as shared.)
