Now, from there, we have Conjury, strained down into something that, while still having the potential to be misused as shown in the CNJ quest-line, is 'safe' enough for the common Eorzean population to practice without the stringent ruleset that needs to be in place for its primordial ancestor.
Not...exactly. Â I'll put it to you this way - if you're looking at two practitioners of magic, and one has a natural, innate, inborn talent at the magic they are using in addition to intense study in the discipline, and the other one only knows how to use the magic because of intense hours of study, who do you honestly think is gonna win?
Quote:I can't speak with certainty as I didn't pick the game up until several months ago, but personally I just say Vetiver studied a bit of minor thaumaturgy to better understand all six elements on a basic level. Two different schools of magic that happen to balance each other out. Also a fun way to integrate my obligatory THM levels for swiftcast.
Except that THM had way more to do with the dead and Nald'thal in the original incarnation, which I honestly find far more interesting than the current elemental-based version.
P.S. I don't think it would actually be realistic for the vast majority of Conjurers to be able to misuse Conjury the way that Selphie did. The only reason why she was able to do so is that she was a natural-born Conjurer (i.e. a Hearer).
