SCH adjustments & Additions

[Fetus]

Here's my idea: Introduce the glory of the Blood-seed Grimoire ala "Crimson Arts".

I've also designed this list of suggested ideas from the users of this forum. I'm not taking credit for almost any of them. Some of them are slightly altered. A lot of users have put on their mortarboards and come up with some really genius ideas. If anything should be changed, let me know and I'll edit.

Suggested Scholar Updates

I.) Changes to existing job abilities:

Modus Veritas
-Recasting time should be reduced from 10 minutes to 1 minute.

Sublimation
-Conversion rate of HP to MP should no longer fluctuate after activating Sublimation.

Addendum: Black
-Scholar should no longer need to be under the effect of Addendum: Black to gain access to the following spells:

- Stone IV
- Water IV
- Aero IV
- Fire IV
- Blizzard IV
- Thunder IV

II.) Introduction of new job abilities:

Crimson Arts

Obtained: Scholar @ Level 91
Cast Time: Instant
Recast Time: 1:00 (-00:02 by each Merit Points upgrade)
Duration: 2:00:00

-Optimizes certain aspects of both black magic and white magic:

-Elemental, dark, enhancing, enfeebling and healing magic is optimized.

*Crimson Arts bestows the same 10% MP Cost Reduction/Casting Time/Recasting Time benefits as Light Arts and Dark Arts does.

While under the effect of Crimson Arts, a Scholar should gain access to the following stratagems:

-Diminution (an augmented Penury/Parsimony): Reduced the MP cost of your next dark, elemental, enfeebling, enhancing or healing magic spell by 75%. Consumes 5% of your HP.

-Legerity (an augmented Celerity/Alacrity): Reduces the casting time and recasting time of your next dark, elemental, enfeebling, enhancing or healing magic spell by 75%. Consumes 5% of your HP.

-Revelation (an augmented Accession/Manifestation): Your next dark, elemental, enfeebling, enhancing or healing magic spell will become AoE. Triples the MP Cost, Casting Time and Recasting Time. Consumes 5% of your HP.

-Profundity (an augmented Rapture/Ebullience): Your next applicable black magic spell will gain an increased potency of +30%. Your next applicable white magic spell will gain an increased potency of +60%. Consumes 5% of your HP.

-Convalesce (an augmented Perpetuance/Immanence): Your next enhancing magic spell will have its duration increased by 3x. Your next elemental magic spell will generate enhanced damage on the skillchain it produces by +30%.

*Stratagems obtained via merit points will be unusable while under the effect of Crimson Arts.

*Addendum: Black and Addendum: White will be unusable while under the effect of Crimson Arts.

Certain new spells will only be available for use while under the effect of Crimson Arts.
