Red Magic is the primary ability for Red Mages, who can use all Red Magic spells without the need to attain a spell's associated level first.Spells and Abilities: Red Mage Active Name To be able to use all Red Magic spells as a non-Red Mage, a character must level their Red Mage job up to level 3.

A Mime with Dualcast and two other magic skillsets can therefore be very effective.Īfter leveling up the Red Mage job, a character can have the Red Magic ability equipped on any other job and use any Red Magic spell whose associated level they have been attained.

Giving a Red Mage White Magic 6 or Black Magic 6 will enable them to dualcast spells up to level 6 of that particular school of magic. For example, given to a Summoner, they will be able to summon twice for in one turn, and given to a Time Mage, they can cast two Time Magic spells at once. As such, Red Mages later on are typically used solely to learn Dualcast.ĭualcast includes Red Magic by default (cast two level 3 Black or White Magic at once), but can work with any other equipped magic skillset. This means that Red Mages can remain relevant and effective up until later spells are available, at which point the job becomes mostly obsolete as Red Mages will be incapable of keeping pace with stronger enemies. The Red Magic skillset allows the use of White Magic and Black Magic up to level 3. Lenna using Dualcast to perform the Cura (top) and Fira (bottom) Red Magics consecutively. Red Mages can boost the power of any element as they can equip rods (for Fire, Ice, Lightning, and Poison), staves ( Holy), and knives ( Wind). This, as well as their small Strength bonus, makes them somewhat more capable fighters than other mages, but still less effective than dedicated fighters. In addition to usual mage equipment ( knives, rods, staves, magic hats, robes, and armlets), they also have access to swords, combat hats, and light armor. Unlike other mage jobs, Red Mages have access to a variety of equipment. Given that Red Mage's bonuses in these regards are small, it will likely be surpassed by another job first. Upon mastery, Freelancers and Mimes gain the Red Mage's base Strength, Agility, and Magic unless they already have a higher base from another mastered job. This will apply assuming the character does not already have a higher Magic modifier. Their main drawback is their Stamina penalty, meaning their HP will be lower than the base.Įquipping the Red Magic ability on other jobs also grants the Magic modifier, depending on the level: They also have an Agility bonus that is small but puts them ahead of other party members. Red Mages have moderate bonuses to their Strength and Magic, making them decent physical attackers and spellcasters, while falling behind jobs dedicated to one or the other. Galuf's, Krile's, and Lenna's hats are right-sided, Bartz's and Faris's are at the classic left position. Krile's outfit has a slightly pink tint to it. Red Mages wear red clothes, red capes, and a red hat with a feather, just like in the other Final Fantasy games.
