Lol thanks King that's very appreciated coming from someone with alot of talent. I am pretty sure you have the same views as me since you seem to be a artistic perfectionist as well. But you notice when your drawing alot of times your stuff just looks like garbage to you XD?

esh, i'm not sure how time mage could fit into the scheme of things even if they wanted to implement it.

[jeffanddane]

It would fit in they would just to have to find the hook for Time Mage or the unique set up as they would call it.

Bumped and updated!

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:

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.
