How Blue Mage Could Exist in FFXIV

[Astarotha]

actually, something i just thought of that could be done within existing systems without revamping how levelling works in 14, egi glamour applied to their spells but learned from enemies throughout the world, perhaps with little side effects added alongside (ie blum learns 'cone aoe' type spell bad breath at lvl x, but can 'learn' a different glam for bad breath that changes the poison to petrify and now its stone breath)

this small change would mean you could have 2 blums in a party that have their own feel and look, you dont break the standard levelling system which has a built in action limit to it, and players get to experience that worldwide hunt for new abilities to get hit by >P

Maybe but they've gone almost an entire expansion now without updating the egi glamour system. I'd be surprised if SE had multiple spell animations in place for the same spell for BLU. I don't think smn glamours affect any spell effect animations just the egis.
