Solving the Fire Mage Problem

[Razard]

I'd rather read your comments instead of throwing the word arbitrary around. All it amounts to is you handwaving a discussion you can't be bothered with.

With all due respect, when your post amount to "Why do we have Sleep and Lethargy instead of Drain/ Break/ summon lollypop guild". I have to dismiss it as arbitrary.

We have whole raids dedicated to how Mhachi mages were able to control high level voidsent. And only broke free several years after a flood happened and wiped out the nation. We've had Mages build the construct Ozma which still worked to this day. We've had Thaumaturges undergo summoning rituals which is the only reason Ultros is even in XIV. We are talking about a low level Chimera here. And even then in relation between job quests and abilities do they have symmetry with each other? Nope. It was more "grats you completed quest have a skill you wish you had 5 minutes ago".

And look how that turned out for them. How many Mhachi are running around Void Ark? You know, the thing they escaped the flood in. Oh yes and that whole incident with the Cloud of Darkness being summoned by a mad emperor to pretty much destroy Eorzea.

Ozma is a non sequitur. We don't know enough about it. Besides, I don't think we can carry around an Ozma wherever we go.

And remember this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y-Zbm10Z20 (from 6:00 onwards). That was a "Low level chimera" and it turned on it's Summoner almost immediately. And this is ignoring other examples of demonic possession. Tam Tara Deepcroft anyone?
