    I'm a little bit confused about what the author of that article is saying geomancers get when he says they get elemental spells up to tier IV and the -ra line of spells. Does he mean -ga or -ja perhaps? Because the only spells with the -ra suffix in the game are whm's barspells.... and maybe kaustra...

    Probably, it wouldn't be the only error...
    Rune Fencers do not have a shield skill; Great Swords are their primary weapons. They learn several white magic spells, including Stoneskin, Aquaveil, and Shell up to V (compared to their highest Protect spell at Protect IV). They also gain access to the various black magic spikes as well as Flash, Phalanx, Regen, Refresh, and Blink.

    I don't see that as an error in terms of incorrect information, it's just written poorly in description. The author stated "black magic spikes" as one category instead of listing out Blaze, Ice, Shock and possibly Dread. And instead of categorizing the same with white magic buffs, the author listed them out, possibly to focus on the odd fact that they have Divine Magic's Flash and regenerative spells, Regen and Refresh.

    -ra line isn't an error. They stated they were adding a new line of elemental magic back when Geomancer was announced. (i.e. Fira, Blizzara, Thundara). No idea if they are Geomancer specific or any other details.

    Sorry that was a reading error on my part, thought it said Black Magic spells. In either case its fairly weird that they put white magic then a single set of black magic spells then more white magic. In either case, I have to admit this job seems more and more annoying to RDM as a replacement... I mean, enspells, refresh, phalanx, magic defense tanking(RDMs old job before Aegis PLD was common)...

    Good info, I really hope Dread Spikes will be given to RNF. Just one spell to benefit them against physical attacks.

    I misread, I thought it said...

    black magic SPELLS as well as Flash, Phalanx, Regen, Refresh, and Blink.
    Instead it says...

    black magic SPIKES as well as Flash, Phalanx, Regen, Refresh, and Blink.
    The way they worded it messed with me since they were talking about white magic right before it, I assumed everything after "black magic" would be, ya know, black magic related.

    It's been stated already that GEO will get its own line of -ra elemental magic
