Red Mage (Tactics A2)



Only Viera can become Red Mages. Red Mages are very versatile, as they have good Magic and Strength. They are very good mages as they can use Black, White and Green Magic and have the great ability Doublecast, that can be used not only on Red Magic, but on any other magics, too as long as you have them as the secondary A-ability. Other advantage of Doublecast is that you can pierce laws, if the law forbids the use of fire and you Doublecast fire, it won't count as two fire spells, it will count as doublecast, meaning that you're not violating the law. One of the most potent uses of Doublecast is to combine it with the Blood Price support ability, which allows one to cast magic by using double its cost in HP instead of MP, but as long as the Red Mage uses its second cast to heal herself, she can easily negate the HP cost, essentially getting free magick. They can be great physical hitters too, so don't worry if someone cast Silence on them. Another use would be doublecasting spells from another job such as the Elementalist or Spellblade job.
