Transfusion Mage

[Coldbrand]

When I read the title I was thinking a Blood Mage ala D&D.

The other option for this is to make the "infusion" similar to that of a Skillchain. (No not a Magic Burst - they rely on WS Skillchains).

This means any mage can do them - BLM, RDM, WHM, SCH... Basically 2x elemental properties (in skillchains) already make up an end result. Same concept here with Magic - 2x Spells make up a "Transfusion" which is basically an added effect of the 2x spells giving some sort of temporary enfeeble, and a damage bonus.

Example was something like..

Alderin casts Gravity on Shinryu.
Alderin casts Drain on Shinryu.
Transfusion: Demi! Shinryu takes 1200 damage and is effected by weighed down.

Or something simmilar of course. The other point to make is this should be doable even if a spell is resisted - Simply for the fact that a lot of NM's are immune to certain debuffs, so allowing for resistance will effectively eliminate the bonus.

good idea to make it like a skill chain using magic instead of weapon skills. it would give mages a new sense of empowerment
then you could give certain jobs the ability to self-sc this way...... besides rdm's chainspell

That's actually a really cool idea. I like that idea of casting two spells to make a "magic skillchain"

Edit: Now I know why every keeps relating the name to blood. Didn't look at the actual definition of the word when I was looking for synonyms of "combine."
