I've been playing Xenoblade chronicles a bit lately, and Melia's character, combined with the crowd frustration of BLMS and losing momentum with movement during mechanics got me thinking of a possible support/dps caster idea. tell me what you think:

The basic idea is some sort of rune caster (named appropriately after an old FF job). I initially thought they should use tomes, but given that SMN/SCH already do, maybe they use scrolls? or even possibly floating crystals or something? they could also use harry-potter style wands to draw runes (not like the wands that already exist, but conductor batons, almost).

Continued in next post.
