    My point is that all definition of magic state of supernatural powers. Not sure where you got your definition of magic, but there is no generally accepted supernatural powers. Yes, I am familiar with Jehovah's witness, thank you.

    You assume to much to emply I need to learn from you or about my own heritage, As I am Celtic ( Scottish Alba), , and I grew up with a Wiccan mother. FYI, Its Wiccan not wicken...........

    You should always try to learn more, what you might find is interesting.
    My point is that you have a romantic albiet incorrect idea of Druids. Very little is known about the ancient druids. They left no written accounts about themselves and the only evidence is a few descriptions left by Greek and Roman authors, and stories created by later medieval Irish writers. While archaeological evidence has been uncovered pertaining to the religious practices of the Iron Age people, "not one single artefact or image has been unearthed that can undoubtedly be connected with the ancient Druids."

    I see, I wasn't trying to emply that you needed to learn from me, not at all.
    Oh, interesting, and yeah some people spell it Wiccan some spell it Wicken. It just depends I guess.

    As for magic, I do not believe that humans themselves can use magic, instead they call on demons who do acts to make people believe its magic. There is evidence of this in the bible but, this is not a discussion on religion. Though the question if Magic in the sense of humans casting spells is real is denied by science, We DO KNOW for a fact that people in the past have practiced forms of what they called 'magic'.

    But, we are getting distracted.
    IMO this is how DoM classes -> jobs should be:
    Druid(CNJ) -> WHM
    Warlock(THM) -> BLM
    Evoker(DoM that summons elementals to fight for them)(PS, if they change CNJ's name, it would make this class easier to name.) -> SMN (Summons Avatars to battle. NOT PRIMALS)
    Arcanist (Debuff/Buff and Water nuker) -> ????
    Tamer (Charms mobs to act as pets) -> BST (Certain charmed mobs can be mounted and used for battle this way.)

    And, that would be the five DoM classes to start off with. Would probably add RDM or BLU later once Musketeer is released for DoW.

    I'd prefer:

    Druid >> WHM
    Wizard >> BLM

    Other options could be Elementalist or merely Mage.
    Not a fan of Warlock though, it has always had a bit of an villainous connotation to me...

    As far as the other classes you mentioned. (Yes Please) *obviously

    I have a blog post on new classes and jobs that builds further on this approach.

    Meh, I chose Warlock becauseof the dark implications the name gives.
