Magic Scrolls - {Can I have it?}

[Hachi-Roku]

Also to say that Fire = Fira = Firaga (or any similar setup) is silly, they are all fire spells yes but they are all different in power and if you are in fact a MP conscious mage then you would use all your tiers and consider them all unique in the fact that they cost less and deal varying amounts of damage.

As it stands now in FFXIV, you won't see CONs cast anything lower than an ancient magic spell on Ifrit, because there's no point to saving some MP because you really need that damage more than anything else. As it is, allowing some sort of level scaling will hopefully solve how weird cures tend to be across the level spectrum.

The original point I was getting at was this:

Since Yoshi-P and team decided that characters will only be able to have 15 abilities/weapon skills/spells between a single class/job (for the main class) it cripples magic users variety.

Magic users don't have so much variety as people think they do, and in no way will the action abilities being reduced to 15 stop them from doing everything they do now, in their own special magey way.
