I'm totally okay with mp cost if these two conditions apply which i think they will:


a) pre jobs, it will make alchemist/items more useful. As before people weren't using them as much before. Some of this mp cost might make slow, paralyze, blind, and silence, more useful than before. Maybe even paralynia and poisona and stuff.

b) once jobs come out you will receive reduced mp costs for things that fit in the role. For people who played xi think of it like scholar, but instead of books there are jobs. You have all the same spells laid out for you if you choose blm, but only nukes and such will offer reduced mp costs and maybe even reduced action points. Its different from scholar of course, but the reduced mp cost on roles is kinda like switching between books for less mp, but i would love to see a book based mp management job sometime.

just a sidenote, when we switch to jobs i would love to have my job have its own slot in my action and traits drop down menu, and all the spells that it can use from the "classes" would be listed there, because action and traits can be a pain atm, so for jobs streamlining would be a little nice.
