Suggestions for potential Time Mage and Beast Master jobs

[AriaValkyrie]

I've actually been working on making a Time Mage job concept lately!

While it's true that a lot of stuff Time Mage would have is also present on Astro, it's certainly not impossible to imagine them both existing in the same setting. For example, they did add lore for Geomancy being quite similar to Astro where they both draw power from the stars, and while we haven't exactly gotten anything more from that part of the lore, it's an existing type of thread we can compare this to.

Time Mage itself certainly could draw from the stars, much like Geomancer and Astro, or possibly the space between them, in a more direct sense than the other two. It is a known thing that Gravity does exert an effect on how quickly time flows. Basically the less gravity there is, the faster time flows, and the stronger it is the slower, especially when it comes to things like Black Holes.

Sharing certain concepts with Astro, however, really would only part of the story. I've been imagining Time Mages specifically like a keeper of time, where the majority of magics deal with altering the present flow of time and dealing with anyone attempting to abuse Time Magics.

Its possible, too, that Time Mage/s have had dealings with Astros in the study of the stars, possibly even originating from an Astrologian who became the first Time Mage. Could even do this in existing lore, being someone who taught certain Time Magics like Time Dilation and Gravity, with Time Dilation leaving the skillset due to this Astro maybe being branded a heretic, or someone discovering the dangers of dabbling in Time Magic and putting an end to it. There is precedence for Time Magic being called heretical in a certain story line, so it's not out of the question.

I have also been toying with giving them something akin to a flail or meteor hammer as a weapon, since I like the idea of a pendulum type of idle stance for a job based on the concept of time.

I'll be posting the job concept for it eventually so i can show what i was thinking for actions themselves, but I have been enjoying thinking of them as a sister job to Astro, flavor-wise.

I think Time Mage probably could work without taking anything in terms of aesthetics and spells from AST by borrowing heavily from Ultimecia and the way she fights in Dissidia, as she would be the FF character that is most heavily associated with Time.

Time Mage without Gravity isn't Time Mage as far as I'm concerned.
AST is our Time Mage.
