Red Mage
Blue Mage.
Actually Red Mage is fairly easy to finagle because of how some cross-class abilities work. You just wouldn't be able to do it with a soul crystal equipped unless/until it becomes an actual thing.
Blue Mage is the toughy because of its reliance on monster abilities, but I think as a non-Soul Crystal bearing class-based template, it can be somewhat rigged to work for the sake RP purposes, and it would work similar to Red Mage as noted above. Just have to be a little more creative and see which existing cross-classing spells and abilities come close to existing monster abilities and go from there.
I plan to pick 8 monster skills of varying ability's. Blue Mage to me was always about versatility. Then i'd offset that weakish spell power with some elegant sword play. I'd really like to have a mechanic that suggests offensive spells could only be cast if a specific sword maneuver was to be performed and landed its target.
