BLU spell limit /sigh

While technically BLU is a mage class - it is much more than that - melee damage from blu is signficant. Additionally blu gets powerful job traits by setting spells - if blu could set 50 spells, nearly all significant blu job traits would be settable simultaneously. Also remember each spell has attributes associated with it. Being able to take advantage of 50 spells would require a significant increase in set points. While it would certainly be fun to do - the SE "balance" stick will prevent this from happening.

It'd be the first time SE would be correct about a job not being balanced.

It will never happen that blu can set all 50 slot (if have) since never enough points to set it.

Easy fix for that: Add a secondary group of selectable spells where spells added to this group did not create any traits or give any stat bonuses/penalties. Actually, for balance, maybe let spells here add their penalties, but not bonuses.

This spell list could have something like 10-15 spell slots and maybe 20 set points, or whatever would be reasonably balanced.
