We've seen in FF14 many things can be done using crystals such as summoning primals, cooking, crafting. All manner of things. While it is blue mage theme it is NOT blue mage, it is VERY far from it.
So I decided that the power lies witht he sword NOT the wielder. That way once Blue mage drops? I can throw that sword away and pursuit the job itself.
No retcon required!
Thoughts?
From what I've seen, this is pretty much the best way to do it. Have it be through the sword and should the class ever actually release down the road, you'll be able to adjust accordingly. Artifacts of power/whatever are pretty much always out there, and I don't see there's any reason to say this one in particular couldn't =)
