Transfusion Mage

[JagerForrester]

You know this dual-element talk in some of the threads is making me want to request a Transfusion Mage, a magician that can combine two spells to form a more devastating spell.

Here's some spells that have some "chemistry":
Stone + Water = Erosion
Thunder + Water = Thunderstorm
Fire + Water = Boiling Water

Silence + Thunder = Silent Thunder
Silence + Aero = Silent Wind
Thunder + Paralyze = Jolt
Holy/Banish + Blind/Flash = Blinding Light
Gravity + Drain = Demi
Bind/Stun + Blizzard = Stop

Bind + Blind = Dirty Trap
Slow + Poison = Sick & Tired
Slow + Gravity = Cripple

Regen + Cure = Medication

Job Idea: Transfusion Mage

Coming up with a Fusion System
How are these mages going to combine spells? Well I'm thinking BLU and how they can set spells, and spending points until they reach a max limit. As TFM's level, they can spend points in fusing two of their learned spells to add a new spell to their magic list. Depending on the spells' tiers and original casting cost will depend on the fused spell's casting cost and casting time. If I get gutsy enough, I'll think of any Transfusion spells that combines 3 spells, maybe I can get the crazy spells TFM exclusive.

Job Traits (Increasing Tiers intended)
Fast Cast
Magic Attack Bonus
Clear Mind

Job Abilities
2Hour? (No idea yet, probably something to have fused spells more effective)
"Induce" for creating AoE spells
"Counter-agent" to create Bar- and -na spells.
More to come

Combat and Magic Skills (Rough guess, still fleshing out)
Staff: B
Club: D
Evasion: E
Elemental: B
Enfeeble: B
Enhancing: C or N/A (Will decide after figuring out Enhancing/Healing type combinations)
Healing: E, D, or N/A (Will decide after figuring out Enhancing/Healing type combinations)
Dark & Divine: C? (Sucks that the only spells elemental spells there is Banish and Holy. Guess I'll have to use Drain and Aspir for my Dark spells I can mix with. Guess I'll give it a C for average knowledge for the Transfusion Mage)

Spell List(Increasing Tiers intended)
Elements:
LV1: Stone
LV5: Water
LV10: Aero
Blizzard
Fire
Thunder
Banish/Holy

Status Effects:
Poison
Blind
Bind
Silence
Stun
Sleep
Slow
Gravity

Enhancements
Regen
Bar- spells (Barfire, etc)
Protect
Shell

Healing
Cure



Here's some examples made by other posters.

Talk about the spell.
I would like to see combo of spells... like Weapon skill chain but spell.

or make new spell when 2 or more mages cast same or different spell in the same time to same target.
Example
we can make ICE STORM when 1 mage cast Blizzard and 1 mage cast Aero
OR Electric Wave Thunder spell + Water spell.
OR Slow + Stone = Super Slow
OR Slow + Stonega = Slowga.
OR Sleep + Bio = Nightmare
OR Holy + aspir (drain sleep) = aspir (drain sleep) but light element.

OR make Super Light damage with Holy (Banish) + Thunder + Fire + Wind
same go with Super Dark damage with Blizzard + Stone + Water
Maybe I dream too much XD

Square Enix could make dual elemental spells akin to the pairings that Abyssean elementals have. The only problem with this is the amalgamation that Baelfyr's posses; Fire and Light elements. Would be pretty cool, and have them Magic Burst doubly so when the skill chain is level 2 or 3.

I'm sure there are other discussions like this out there. This is still a thought in the making. Feel free to add if you like the idea.

Would self replies count as trolls?

I vote for gestalt job quests.

Blinding Light...sounds a lot like Flash....and wouldn't Stop have slow included in it's sequence, or bind?

Transgender Mage?

Combining spells could be very interesting but couldnt we do that on preexisting jobs?

SCH should honestly get this ability lol

Call it a Helixmage.

I'll add that to the thread title then. Edit: Okay, I can't add it to the main title, but your suggestion is in the first post's title. Guess that's something else to suggest to the website.

Possibly, but I was thinking how Blue Mages set spells and get certain job traits. It just made me think if we could make a different mage that gets new exclusive spells by combining two spells (or more, however far you imagination wants to go). It felt right introducing this idea as a new job.

Flash/Blind spell that damages. I went with Blind as it's not as exclusive as Flash is in FFXI. And I don't think Blind sounds like it would combine into making Stop. Maybe you can explain that?

This is a really cool idea, I like it. Obviously more thought needs to be put into it, but me likey!
