Oracles in FFT used Ying Yang magic... they were cool cuz of the status effects.. but.. I think this guy might be more like the Calculator.. which incorporated everything about numbers... so I would suspect moonphase and day and time and lvl and hp and mp... all that crazy sh't.. to be integers of effect for powers. ... that's my guess. ... I haven't read anything about them. could also be like Mediators w/ the talk skill.... who knows.. al I know is... I'm dump'n my pankration crap and mule'n my whm gear.. I'm goin 75 SCH.

Scholarfs demonstration movie treated us to the effect of White and Black Grimoire, as well as its own unique skills. With Black Grimoire active, the Scholar used g[glow=red,2,300]Chapter: Elemental Presenceh ¸—ìŒõ—ˆ‚ÌÍ, which allows single target Enfeebling and Dark magic spells to be cast as AoE.[/glow]
Support happy players have been eagerly awaiting a job like Scholar, a new back-line job that functions like Summoner. Throughout the Crystal War, these tacticians utilized great tomes, known as Grimoire, to guide their military strategies. They are experts at wielding both White and Black magic.
The foundation of a Scholar is comprised of the gWhite Grimoireh and gBlack Grimoire,h two abilities that are used to enhance White Magic and Black Magic respectively. There is no time limit to these abilities, so a player can freely switch between White Mage mode and Black Magic mode as the battle progresses. By the way, Scholarfs mainly use Staves and Clubs, and the book is simply an effect generated through use of their abilities. They cannot attack with books as Scholars did in Final Fantasy III.
Upon using gWhite Grimoire,h White Magic casting time is shortened, MP cost is lowered, and the playerfs Healing/Divine/Enhancing magic skills are all raised. Also, there is a limit on what magic can be used while the White Grimoire is in effect. The Black Grimoire is the Black Magic version of this. As a penalty, the line of magic opposite to the Grimoire receives an increase in MP cost and lengthened casting times. While a Grimoire is active, a Scholar gains access to a number of unique abilities, such as magic which can alter the designated weather for a target party member and a powerful DoT spell. The weather magic allows a player to ignore the current weather for all intents and purposes. [glow=red,2,300]Moreover, it allows the use of equipment that has special latent effects under certain weather conditions.[/glow]
Now, when the Grimoire effect was unleashed, a wave of awe washed over the entire conference hall. [glow=red,2,300]Under the White Grimoire, Stoneskin completed casting at only 40% of the casting gauge[/glow]. Under the Black Grimoire, Gravity became Graviga (an AoE version of Gravity). The possibilities immediately captivated the audience. With White Grimoire or Black Grimoire as a support job, [glow=red,2,300]there is an unknown number of benefits one can find for key spells like Bind, Haste, Raise, Stun, or Ancient Magic.[/glow] No doubt, Scholar is an amazing force to join the line of support jobs
I think it's safe to say i'll be leveling this to at least 37 as soon as i get back...
