Red mage healer

[Vulcwen]

Red Mage is hyped for all of the roles, due to it's hybrid nature, but as it's said to use both black and white magic,
I think it fits best as healer. And because I love designing stuff, I decided to take a shot at designing this job as a healer.
Note that I haven't played other FF games besides this one (although I certainly plan to do in the future), so all my impressions of RDM have been from reading other resources, which can be quite limiting. I do think I managed to fit in the signature concepts of a RDM, but some of the ability names could be a bit random.

Anyway, I've designed this job with a melee/range hybrid style of play (and I have no idea whether it'll work or not). It's also intended to mainly fill the SCH slot. But I don't give it constant access to shields, but rather have those locked behind a short cooldown of 15s (they are all instant cast and cost no MP).

It's currently in an early state, so numbers are probably imbalanced, and some of the
ideas aren't thought out in depth. Because of this I also have not decided on the costs of abilities.

Cross Class:

• Thaumaturge (will also have Scathe and Sleep)
• Arcanist (will also have Miasma as cross-class ability)
