    I feel mage Relics are completely useless and Emps are not that far behind them. Also, mythics could use more love also for mages.

    As a Black Mage, why would I ever want a Claustrum? I have a 99 Hvergelmir, mainly as an achievement and that the weapon is nice vs easy prey when you want to keep your MP stable and not have to rest after 4 nukes, but against any tough enemies, it is not that great. As for the mythic, I personally never had one so I can't judge it's potency, but from what I read from others, it's just good for meteor and doesn't beat the Trial 99 Ele Staves.

    Each of those weapons take a lot of time and money to make. I never understood why they were never an upgrade like the ones for melee are.

    I'll never understand why Aegis got fixed so fast when it was considered to be useless next to Ochain when the Magic Damage Taken cap was -50% (even with aegis on at the time) yet all of these years, Claustrum remains useless and the most unwanted relic.

    I'll only touch black mage bonuses since I do not play SCH or SMN.

    Claustrum: You can instead have it give a unique spell to black mages and summoners instead of a weapon skill. Also give it some Avatar Magic damage +% and Magic Damage +% with + magic accuracy.

    Hvergelmir: The weapon skill is actually nice, if you can get TP from casting often. This could give a major occult Accumen with lower Magic Damage +% than Claustrum and maybe give fast cast. Maybe summoners can get TP when their pet melees also, allowing them to use the WS from afar and not have to melee.

    Laevateinn: Give a bonus damage to meteor in addition to the Magic Attack Bonus. This would make it unique for meteor to inflict even more damage than it does now. Can also enhance meteor to be effective with 1 Black Mage.

    Only problem I see is the mythic staff being used just for Meteor. Could have it add a new unique black mage spell also.
