Well you only really have to reset those abilities that aren't compatible with your new job, but yes.
Also, switching between War and Magic is a tough job because they use entirely different Attributes and we can't seem to be able to respec Attributes as easily as we can change Class.
I did just try out soloing the tutorial and battlecraft levequests with a Conjurer, on Band(**) difficulty no less, and I -never- ran out of mana. Even during that one levequest where you have to kill mobs until you grab 10 items, and I did use only spells (no dart attack) for that. I ended up with 77/197 mana at the end.
Considering you'll usually port back to camp after a levequest (to start the next one) I don't believe running out of mana could ever be a problem except for long grinding periods.
A few tips
- Be sure to boost your INT and PIE, as they are your Magic Attack and Magic Accuracy. If your spells are strong and strike true, you won't need to cast them as often.
- If you're a Conjurer, be sure to pick one or two Elements and boost those, and use their related spell. Thunder is awesome when it rains, too. Seriously it -does- seem to have an impact. My Thunder was hitting significantly harder than my Stone under the rain. They did it for Final Fantasy Tactics so I'm not surprised. I bet Fire sucks when it rains, too.
- When your target is low on HP, or just weak, use your Dart attack. No point in wasting mana when your Cane or Wand will do the job.
- In groups, you should probably use your Cane or Wand most of the time, unless the enemy is real tough, or you need to use healing magic. That way, you kill enemies slower meaning more SP for everyone, and less Mana spent.
- I noticed some gear give HP, I'm sure there's gear that gives MP, too. Look for those. Admittedly hard right now, but that's a good tip for the future.
