Inconsistent usage of the term "magicked barrier"
In the English version of job action descriptions, the term "a magicked barrier" is occasionally used, which does not exist in the Japanese version. All instances except Mesotes use "a barrier" consistently. If it were purely flavour text, that would be fine, but based on how it is used, that does not appear to be the case.

In the English version, different verbs are used: "erect" appears with "magicked barrier" while "create" appears with "barrier", and "nullify" and "absorb" are used with both. No such distinction exists in the Japanese version. Additionally, "barrier" is used exclusively for actions that absorb damage, and Mesotes uses "shield" rather than "barrier". The same is true of the French version (bouclier) and the German version (Schild).
