This update really made Scholar decent...
The following changes have been made to the scholar job:
- The maximum number of charges for the job ability “Stratagems” has been adjusted.
Lv. 10: 1 charge
Lv. 30: 2 charges
Lv. 50: 3 charges
Lv. 70: 4 charges

- The time required to regain one charge now varies depending on the maximum number of possible charges.
Maximum charges: 1 → Time to regain 1 charge: 4 minutes
Maximum charges: 2 → Time to regain 1 charge: 2 minutes
Maximum charges: 3 → Time to regain 1 charge: 1 minute 20 seconds
Maximum charges: 4 → Time to regain 1 charge: 1 minute

- The following scholar job abilities have been introduced:
Sublimation (Lv.35)
Stores MP while reducing HP. The effect ends once the MP limit is reached, HP is too low, or you are attacked. Stored MP is gained when the ability is reactivated.
*Your character’s HP will slowly decrease while storing MP and you will be unable to enter healing mode or log out while this ability is in effect.

Addendum: White (Lv.10)
Allows access to additional White Magic spells while using Light Arts.

Addendum: Black (Lv.30)
Allows access to additional Black Magic spells while using Dark Arts.

- Scholars will now be able to cast additional white and black magic spells while using the new job abilities “Addendum: White” and “Addendum: Black”.
These additional spells will be added to a scholar’s magic lists after being acquired, but will only be selectable when under the effect of “Addendum: White” or “Addendum: Black”.

- Scholars have gained the job trait “Conserve MP.”

- Spells cast during the effect of the job abilities “Accession” or “Manifestation” will now only cost double the MP instead of triple.

- The casting time, recast time, and duration of the following spells have been adjusted:
Sandstorm/Rainstorm/Windstorm/Firestorm/Hailstorm/Thunderstorm/Voidstorm/Aurorastorm

- “Light Arts” will now also increase the enfeebling magic skill.

- Scholar job abilities now have unique status icons.

The help text for several magic scrolls is missing the level restriction for scholars. The correct level restrictions are as follows:

Reraise WHM Lv.33
SCH Lv.40 (Addendum: White)
Teaches the white magic Reraise.
Grants you the effect of Raise when you are KO'd.

Reraise II WHM Lv.60
SCH Lv.75 (Addendum: White)
Teaches the white magic Reraise.
Grants you the effect of Raise II when you are KO'd.

Sleep II BLM Lv.41 / RDM Lv.46 / DRK Lv.56
SCH Lv.65 (Addendum: Black)
Teaches the black magic Sleep II.
Puts an enemy to sleep.

The scholar level restriction for the following magic scroll is currently written as level 75. The correct level restriction is level 70.

Raise II WHM Lv.56
SCH Lv.70 (Addendum: White)
Teaches the white magic Raise II.
Revives target from KO.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

If Scholar gets Blink and Stoneskin using the "Addendum: White" JA... it has just become one of the most useful subjobs for mages.  It now isn't just useful for WHM, least that's what I'm reading out of it.  Here's to hoping SCH gets Stoneskin (if NOTHING else) from that.

The following spells were also added...

The following spells have been introduced:
Recall-Jugner (WHM Lv.53)
Recall-Pashh (WHM Lv.53)
Recall-Meriph (WHM Lv.53)
Retrace (BLM Lv.55)
Absorb-ACC (DRK Lv.61)
Klimaform (SCH Lv.46)
Monomi: Ichi (NIN Lv.25) *Uses the ninja tool, "sanjaku-tenugui."

Right as I just leveled NIN to 25, I get the sneak ninjitsu!  Yay, no need for silent oils OR prism powders while leveling NIN!  Fucking awesome, indeed.

The Recall spells for WHM simply transport the qualified members, to, in order:
Jugner Forest [S]
Pashhow Marshlands [S]
Meriphataud Mountains [S]

Retrace simply warps the target to their affiliated nation in the past.

Never thought I'd see the day when I'd have to get another spell for BLM... I was like that with WHM too, until Repose came out.

I'm sure not complaining though, getting to the past just got even easier.
