    Minor point, but I'd also like to add that 'adloquium' is latin for giving encouragement to someone. It syncs up well with the japanese spell name being a reference to army morale.

    And yes, I'll admit the entire Arcanist questline felt quite different from the other two Disciplines of Magic. It felt like Arcanists take something of a pragmatic/'magic is mathematics' stance to magic, referring to arcane geometries and strategies (the female Miqo'te that accompanies you in particular) rather than more mystical and esoteric elements such as the Elementals for Conjurers/White Mages or 'the Abyss' (realm of the dead?) for Thaumaturges.

    Also, this post just reminded me that Paladins are actually called Knights (ナイト, Naito) in Japanese. <_<

    I actually googled the name as I made the original post. It is very similar, but I got the impression that 'adloquium' was a little more personal.
    N
    address| addressing| talk; talking to| encouragement| friendly/reassuring words
    Same with Succor as well (I actually didn't need to google that one =P).
    They're much softer expressions (at least succor, never seen 'adloquium' used in a conversation)
    Which is why it's more like a priest consoling than an army scholar increasing morale.
    Guess I wouldn't think priest though, if Sacred Soil wasn't called....Sacred Soil.
