How Blue Mage Could Exist in FFXIV

stuff about Warlock

Nah, I wasn't joking. I see Warlocks in this game somewhat similar to WoW's warlock, only in the sense of practicing dark magics, which I think would be Void Magic in this game. Rather than relying on summons like the SMN or WoW's warlock, the Warlock I imagined for FFXIV would have been more of a shadow wielder who slings void magic as wickedly as a Black Mage wields fire and ice. They could "summon" things, not as pets, but as spell effects. Like if there were a "Voidal Reap" spell, a dimensional portal could open near the enemy, and a giant evil claw could reach out and slash your target.

I could also see a dark magic user functioning like the Theurgist from Dark Age of Camelot, where they could create "dolls" that lock-on to enemies and proceed to attack them for 10 or 15 seconds before vanishing.
