Ah, I see. My knowledge of Blue Mage is almost non existant since I never played XI or any of the titles with BLU (well, X-2's Gun Mage, but does that really count?). I was simply using him as an example of a magic wielding swordsman.

In short Blue Mage is a Job that "Steals" the abilites of monsters and make them their own abilities.

Sadly FF14 will most likely not be like this but just have Blue mage obtain "Monster" skills through Job Quests with fun little instance involving the BLU fighting the monster with that skill to steal that monster's ability.
