Elemental damage is reduced by half!
In-game description.
The Elementalist is a crown in Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light obtained after defeating Arbaroc in the Great Tree.
The Elementalist's special ability raises the user's elemental resistance level by 1 during battle, effectively halving the damage taken from elemental attacks by default. The crown's earlier abilities allow the user to enhance the effects of the party's elemental attacks, which makes them a perfect partner for those using the Black Mage crown. Their third ability, Mysterio, becomes a borderline necessity when facing bosses during endgame, since most of them have an elemental affinity.
With Mysterio active, the Elementalist will take no damage from elemental spells and take little from elemental attacks, and if paired with the right accessory or armor, they can absorb damage taken from elemental attacks. Like the traditional Geomancers in the series, the Elementalist is proficient with instrumental weapons and also has decent proficiency with all kinds of magic. The job's special armor, Elementalist Robe, provides a 10% boost to the user's Intellect and Magic Accuracy.
