Some comments:

1) Changes to Light Arts and Dark Arts are unnecessary.
2) Changes to Modus Veritas and Sublimation seem sound.

Introducing Tier II -storm spells sounds great as long as they grant the double weather-effects.

"Fusion" spells seem an interesting concept. Some questions, though:

- MP cost?
- Casting time?
- Recasting time?
- Potency?

The ability to create Level 2 and Level 3 Skillcahins via Immanence sounds pretty cool. I don't see a need for something like Cosmic Elucidation, though.

I think an "Elemental Purge" is more of the purview of BLM, but it's a interesting idea, nonetheless; And out of spite, I decree it should have accuracy and a recast time equivalent to that of Modus Veritas so that BLM everywhere can experience needless agony. (I kid, I kid.)

Lastly, I keep seeing people say they want a Light-based or non-elemental magic attack and I think Pebe nailed it. BLM is going to get Meteor... SCH should get Ultima. Make it a powerful element-netural spell that changes elements based on the current weather. Make it reasonably potent, give it a sufficient MP cost, a modest casting/recasting time and call it done.

Agree? Disagree? Other ideas?

ill have to disagree that DA and LA dont need SOME form of addtion.... perhaps not the ones i listed, but possibly an alternative.

the fusion spells were supposed to be quick casting moderate damage/MP costs... so like the power of a T3~4 nuke, for slightly More MP and slightly less casting time... the reason they wouldnt be as strong as a T5 is simply because these are intended to enhance damage done by other spells and create magic bursting oppourtunities... if anything id like them to cast like a little bit slower then holy...
so it would be like:
Power: T4
MP: T5
Speed: T3

id even go so far as to give SCH the Skillchain bonus job trait, or gear with that trait.

i still think giving sch the ability to do cosmic would give us a rock solid place in the game that noone could ever touch, we would be the ULTIMATE damage enhancers for blms, or ultimate SC openers for melees.

totally agree with the ultima comment. i however would like SCH to get a significant boost to its pathetic MP pool. most blms have a 1k MP pool... my sch has like 700 >_>
