Make the most of equipped books!
In-game description.
Scholar is a crown in Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light obtained after defeating the Ice Dragon in the Invidia Underground.
The crown's special ability boosts the user's main stats when they are equipped with a book. The crown is a decent support job, since three of its abilities lower the enemy defense and attack stats. The crown's third ability causes all enemies to act last each turn.
Scholar's abilities are useful in the earlier stages, since the Suppress spell and Shaman crown do not become available until later. Scholar has a high Intellect multipliers, but suffers from low Strength, having the second worst Strength tied with the Black Mage. Scholar has decent proficiency with both kinds of magic, but they should only use low or mid-level spells to avoid wasting AP. The job's special armor, Scholar Gown, provides a 20% boost to the user's Intellect.
