Scholar... SAY WHUT?

[Xeia]

The definition I gave for Thaumaturgy was the one that I found, worded exactly as I put it, I don't really know about it other than that! Regardless I think it fits (and it sounds dark, as a word!)

I think it only sounds dark because you're only knowledge of it is the guild in Ul'dah which is basically a bunch of magical undertakers occasionally going out on vendettas for dead people who had contracts with them. Dark stuff. If you look it up elsewhere, it's pretty explicitly miracle-based magic.

Anywaaaay~~~ I guess I'm derailing the thread more than a little.

As for ACN -> SCH, I suppose the link could still work without changing the in game lore already set up for the class. The way the official page describes them reminds me strongly of the Alchemists from Full Metal Alchemist and they were all pretty... research-driven, as Scholars ought to be. The only issue is Carbuncle, though rumor has it that he's a class-only ability. (I've hunted and asked around but still haven't managed to find a source for that. If somebody has one I'm very interested, please share.) Even if he is restricted to ACN, though, I'm not crazy about the idea of SCH's base class basically having a summon.

I just can't get over the fact that both new jobs use the same weapon, and that only one new class has thus-far been announced. :S I do trust in Yoshi's team for the most part, but they have already made some decisions which made me cry a little on the inside.

Oh god no more elemental strengths/weaknesses... why?
