Much like "Recitation" or "Emergency Tacticts", the FFXI stratagems modify the next spell you cast, expanding its range, duration or potency. Stratagems are consumed and they recharge at a fixed rate (Kind of like lillies but with a much longer CD)

Helixes are a type of magic exclusive to the Scholar. Basically a type of elemental offensive spell that gets stronger depending on the type of weather in the zone. I believe scholar also gets access to a spell to change the weather.
Kaustra is a super expensive, super strong DoT.
Embrava is a super expensive HoT that gradually restores target party member's HP and MP, increases attack speed and ranged attack speed.
