Well, I've got nothing to lose.
*takes the book and browses through*
Ah, there's something. Hm, different kinds of mages.
*mumbles some passages aloud*
Black Mage uses offensive spells and spells to cause negative status effects on the enemy. White Mage is a healer and can cause positive status effectts on team members. A White mage can also cast Holy, a powerful offensive spell. Then there's the Red Mage, a combination of both. Magus, Devout and Sage are the respective upgraded versions. There's also the Blue Mage, who can learn enemy skills and the Time Mage, whose specialities are increasing and decreasing speed and manipulating foreces of gravity.
Hm, interesting. Now, which one would apply to me?
