Idk about anybody else, but I find these to be a complete and utter waste of time, imo. For starters, this is 2011, and we are in the age of Abyssea.... Nobody cares about Magical accuracy.... As much as SE loves giving us garbage items (Mavi earring) to increase our Magic Accuracy.... nobody cares about it. I can tell you right now any one in their right mind would rather wear a moldavite then a mavi earring, or hell even a hecates. While this seems swell, if your dying for magic accuracy that much.... Merit into Convergence, it helps with magic accuracy and use your burst affinity. Problem solved.

Also reduce Casting time and Recast time? Really? Have you played BLU? Any BLU knows that our casting time is mostly if not always .5 seconds.... how much more faster do you want it to be? .1 second? And recast? Ok... I guess you could shorten it, but why? So you can pull even more hate then we already do and get yourself killed.... Go right on ahead. But I can say right now, if you want a faster recast, then go get your Mavi +1/+2 Bazubands. They reduce Blue magic recast times. While I admire that some thought is being put in for some new JAs. I would personally be disappointed that out of all the great suggestions in this forum, that these would be chosen.
