Blue Magic (Final Fantasy XI)

Blue Magic in Final Fantasy XI is usable by the Blue Mage Job class. It is governed by the Blue Magic skill, only available to Blue Mages who have an A+ rating for it.

Blue Magic Points
Unlike other mages in Final Fantasy XI, Blue Mages do not always have access to all of their learned spells at a given time. In fact, unless they know only a very small number of spells, they only have access to a select few spells at a time. Blue Mages must equip, or "set", their spells to use them. Setting most spells also grants stat bonuses or reductions, and setting certain spells together can grant certain Job Traits, such as Auto Refresh or Dual Wield.

Each spell has a Blue Magic Point value, and each level has a certain amount of Blue Magic Points. There is also a limit to the number of Blue Magic spells that can be set at any given level. For example, a level 65 Blue Mage can set a maximum of 18 spells whose combined value does not exceed 40 Blue Magic Points.

Because of the high Blue Magic Point cost of most spells, Blue Mages almost never meet the limit on the number of spells that can be set; they almost always reach the maximum Blue Magic Point value first.
