Alright hi. First off, no my IC isn't a master of all those that's just a catchy title. This is also the first of MANY questions I'm going to have as I'm doing research on the evil mage I'm working on so get ready to see me around a lot. Lets have some fun debates.
P a r t  1
Question 1: Can a character master multiple magical classes and jobs in the game ICly when they all focus on different elements/effects/beliefs?
Question 2: Does your character use magic? Have they ever dabbled in another type of magic (not including the class for the job's magic since they go hand-in-hand)?
OOCly, your character can master any job you want. Which means one instance I can be a WHM. Then I can be a BLM. Then I can be a SMN. ICly though, do you think this makes sense? Can someone who goes through the training of becoming a CNJ/WHM turn around and then be messing with the void things as a BLM? This is the main gist and I want to hear what you guys think about having characters who practice multiple types of magic.Â
P a r t 2
For this part, I'd just like to discuss the character I'm working on and seeing if you guys see any problems or have interesting things to add. Feel free to skip this part if you want.
So a man has been a healer for many years in battles blah blah blah. When it's finally time for him to settle down with his wife, he returns to Ul'dah where he's welcomed by his parents, his father turns his business to him, he sort of becomes a popular rich guy who's just straight up likable in every aspect of his life. You know how it is. Because of his status he gets a bit involved when a blackmage is on trial for messing with the void, and he asks if he can talk to the mage before he's locked up by the authorities. He goes in with the mindset of: "This terrible person had better have a reason for the sins he's committed." Although upon talking to the blackmage, he leaves feeling like he can relate to that man more than anyone he's ever spoken to before. The blackmage simply was looking to resurrect a loved one. They had the most pure intentions just wanting someone they hold dear to return to them. He's been around tons of battles and had the guilt of being unable to save people too.
"Hell, unlike Conjury, White Magic doesn't even need permission to draw that energy, you just take, the reason why it brought an Umbral Era to begin with." - source
I love that sentence because from there I'd love him to be completely torn. Yes, black magic is terrible, but on the other hand. What if it's been handled wrong all these years? What if it's just a misunderstood art like white magic can be when it brings harm? That's where his research begins. He sells off his business to settle down in a wealthy lifestyle so he can focus in on his passion for solving the riddle.Â
And then this is where I get stuck.
Question: As he focuses more on black magic and begins to get corrupted, do you think that his white mage abilities should begin to dwindle? Or do you think that once you master the white mage class, you will always be a skilled healer for the rest of your life?
With a character I would now consider a black mage, I feel like it would be cheap for him to also turn around and be some skilled healer. So give me input and opinions and fun facts about the magic classes. Anything would be awesome and helpful.
