Job Description

Capable at using both White and Black magic as well as being adept at swordsmanship, the Red Mage takes far longer to master powerful spells than White or Black Mages due to the broad range of their abilities. However, a Red Mage's strength lies in debuffing a foe for the rest of his companions as well as boosting party efficiency through the use of spells like Refresh which boosts MP regeneration.
