by Scholar:
A magic-based class, scholars are more powerful than the preliminary White and Black Mages but less so than Devouts (White Wizards) and Magi (Black Wizards). They are capable of using both black and white magic. They use 'books', physical weapons with element-based damage and which are equally powerful from the front or back rows. Scholars have the ability to see the enemy's health and weaknesses, render their positive statuses to zero, and double the effects of any item. Scholars have access to both the curative White Mage spells and the elementally powerful Black Mage spells, but do not have access to most of the enfeebling or enhancing spells from either job's spell line (though many of these can be acquired depending on the sub-job selected). They have spells that influence the weather effect that a character is under, and can cast powerful elemental Damage Over Time (DOT) spells that inflict small amounts of damage over regular intervals for a period of time. They also build up "charges" that are used to power effects that can cause spells to be cast more efficiently or more powerfully. If books cannot be equipped, the book theme is retained as a book appears floating before the Scholar whenever a charge is used.
Scholars replicate the special attacks of monsters through learning or observation. Scholars may "Scan" an enemy for its statistical information. One can also note that Scholars can use products like alchemy and biotechnology to absorb the essence of their foes rather than simply taking the hit.
