A simple approach to a duty set for BLU (another "advanced job" writeup)

I really like the idea of converting the current Condensed Libra spell effect into BLU's mechanic gauge. It honestly would be an interesting to have even now.

One thing that I've been thinking is about primal spells all sharing a charge system. Or maybe a meter called "Blue Mana" - the fuel for those Primal strong spells. They being affected by the Gauge spell effect bonus, but not making the gauge move forward, so you'd have to choose based on the stage you are.

Also Loom could totally be made insta cast and OGCD with 2 charges of their own.

That sounds cool, however the point of this was to speculate on how blu could expand upon its current foundation and not reinvent the wheel. The way that primal skills currently work is completely functional and imo fun, so what is to be gained from a system like this which would completely rework the core combat loop of the class? Loom being an movement ogcd however would be very cool.

Fair enough... But adding to that, looking though a beginner's perspective, I wish Blu's tooltip would make the type of damage pretty obvious: e.g. a frame design with an elemental icon on corner... And also the Primal spells having in the tooltips the spells they share a recast time with.

The Blue Spellbook is getting a lot of pages. It will defnitely need a search/sort functionality.

Another thing that would be nice to have is your hotbar changing when you loaded a new spell setup. It really sucks to have to rearrange most of the stuff when you want to change roles. Maybe if you would be able to drag the Blue Magic spellbook "slot" into the action bars, instead of the spell itself?
