What the heck does the scholar even do?

It sounds like a sort of profession like cooking for something. lol

We don't know what it does in this game, yet.

In FFIII, it used elemental "Tomes" to attack, and had the ability to Cure as well as most other jobs.

In XI, it had the potential of switching between 2 modes: Light Arts and Dark Arts, which made it very versatile and (frankly) and amazingly fun job to play!

Light Arts = Boosted Healing, Enhancing, and Divine (e.g. Holy/Flash) magic skills, and granted access to more white magic spells (When you used a certain skill, "addendum") when Light Arts was active. It had access to a lot of unique abilities, such as transforming single target buffs into AoE, reducing cast/recast time by 50%, increasing the duration of enhancing magics, increasing potency of cure spells etc, as well as unique spells, such as a TP regen, enmity boosts/suppression, and very potent Regen spells.

Dark Arts = Boosted Elemental, Dark, and Enfeebling magic skills, and granted access to more black magic spells. Also had unique abilities such as making single target debuffs AoE, reducing MP cost by 50%, blah blah. Could access many BLM spells, but only single target BLM spells at their highest teir (e.g, Blizzard V) though, but could increase their power and gave some BLMs a run for their money.

In that case, "scholar" is a sort of weird name for a class like that. How about "magi" or "sorcerer"? Those would be better.

At the moment, all of the jobs in XIV are in XI. That just seems to be the theme they're following.

It's just a semi traditional name =) It's considered a SCH because it uses Grimoires to switch between its Arts.
I.e. when it's in Light Arts it uses a white Grimoire as an encyclopaedia for its spells, and vice versa for Dark Arts.

Oh, I think I understand now. Well, it does make sense put like that.

Okay, now that is extremely cool. I'm definitely going to have to give scholar a try.
