Job Description

Elvaan Blue Mage
Elvaan Blue Mage
Employing the legendary arts of Aht Urhgan, these formidable fighter-mages employ elegantly curved blades for close combat, while decimating their enemies from afar with fell magic mastered from their opponents.

The Blue Mage job class is unlocked upon completing the quest An Empty Vessel.

Blue mages are powerful damage dealers in party situations. Unlike some other damage-dealing jobs, blue mages have the ability to heal themselves and their party members. Blue mages also have several powerful defensive spells, allowing them to bolster their defenses and mitigate damage from very powerful enemies. Other jobs also use blue mage as a subjob to take advantage of the job's stun, healing and defensive magic.
