Time Mage

**MOVED to the appropriate THREAD**

what could you give time mage that would bring them upto ffxi standards withoutdeviating too far from the theme for the job?

----------
Ok, from reading your last post, you could just say "Give that to *blank* job" or "*Blank* job does that" lol but FFXI already has mages that share the same spells so that's nothing new^^ I just knew you'd ask this question even before reading your following post, so I took the liberty of brainstorming some possibles. Again the purpose of this is to just begin the thought process of what role a Time Mage could actually play in FFXI, so it's not to say there aren't better ideas or spells that can follow. I pray you to have an open mind about all this lol. Here goes:

Enhancing Spells
Float- raises a party member just above reach of an attacking monster for a short time(would look like the animation for "Jump" and cause a monster to miss 3 melee rounds)

And this is just dealing with the whole "Physical Space" control thing lol!! Ok, now... again, these are just concepts of how these mages could help out a party scenario, so there would be plenty of other areas to shine in with some thought. Honestly I wasn't really sure why I kept seeing the term "Time Mage" on different message boards, but after thinking about it, these mages would be awesome to have in a party if they had spells like the ones above lol.

Demi -Dark (element not skill) based elemental damage spell, like lightning or fire but darkness element.
Stop - Bind + Paralyze
Mute - Silencega
Xfer - Removes Elemental Resistances (or decreases it)
Lock - Lowers enemies Evasion (that's all it does)
Rub - Death Equivalent, It rubs out their existance.
Fear - Makes the enemy unable to attack, low success rate.
Mini - Shrinks the enemy, lowers attack and defense, but the enemy can still cast magic.
Frog - Turns enemy into a Frog (Poroggo) and charms them for a few seconds.
Berserk - Enrages one enemy, and increases it's attack power and speed but the enemy is only able to use normal attacks.
Barrier - In the vein of Protect and Shell, Barrier would increase defense against all TP based attacks and weapon skills (but nothing else).
Fog/Amnesia - Makes the enemy unable to use tp attacks
Bravery - Increases target ally's physical attack power
Faith - Increases target ally's magical attack power.
Sap - Would act as Poison does, except it would affect the target's MP instead of HP
Scathe/Scourge - Much Like Blizzaga or Thundaga, this spell would be the non-elemental equivalent, dealing non-elemental damage in an Area of Effect.
Ruin/Comet - Ruin or Comet would be the single target counterpart to Scathe or Scourge, dealing non-elemental damage to a single target enemy.
Disable - Paralyze spell that has very low success rate but once landed, causes full paralysis (enemy can still move but cannot perform any actions).
Vanish - Combat Invisible spell, much like blink except it would be able to target an ally. It would give the target a third eye - like buff, they would be able to absorb the next physical attack. Would not work against magical attacks.
Old - Lowers the target's level by 1.

Edit: All of the spells I personally listed just now are pre-existing spells from other Final Fantasy games. I may have tweaked a few here and there because they'd be overpowered otherwise.
