Red Mage
"Me? I do a little bit of everything."
Cutting a sharp figure in a feathered hat and a scarlet coat, the Red Mage is the cosmopolitan journeyman of magic, freely strutting between the White and Black schools, sword in hand. Whether they're the scholar-gentlemen of Treno or the least xenophobic Viera you'll ever meet, a wizard draped in red implies modernity, dignity, and an unimpeachable sense of fashion.
The Red Mage is a magic-using job whose talents cut across schools, wielding a little bit of everything. Unlike other jobs, whose spells tend to share a purpose - "damage spells", "status inflicting spells", and so on, the Red Mage achieves versatility by pairing spells across type. They also gain two powerful abilities that accelerate spell-casting - powerful enough alone, Dualcast and Chainspell are absolutely deadly when used in concert.

Dualcast
AP: 100
Type: Action
Magic, Multi-Action
Target: Varies
([S]+[S])x0.75D F[S]
Select two spells - The Red Mage then casts both of them with one action. All costs are paid as normal before either is cast, and the second spell is cast after the first finishes resolving - this allows the target of the second spell to be chosen after seeing the result of the first. The Red Mage takes on delay as if one spell was cast after the other (The sum of the delays of the two component actions), and then multiplied the result by 0.75. The total delay of this action can't be less than the Floor, which is the higher of the Floors of the two cast spells. Delay-affecting effects such as the Mage's speed, Haste, Slow and Chainspell are applied to the two spells separately. Additionally, when Dualcast is used increase the MP cost of each spell used by 25%.
Supports
Chainspell (Innate)
AP: 150
Type: Support
Focusing on a single enemy allows the Red Mage to toss out spells with frightening speed. Chainspell reduces the delay of consecutive spells cast against a single target. Whenever a Red Mage casts a spell against a single target, and their last action was casting a single-target spell on the same target, that spell's delay is lowered by 10 and its floor is lowered by 5.
The ability "Dualcast" functions with Chainspell, as long as every spell cast with it is a single target spell cast against the same target.
Fearsiphon
AP: 150
Type: Support
When the Red Mage targets any enemy that an ally has targeted since the Red Mage's last turn, Fearsiphon lowers the delay of the Red Mage's action by 5.
Reaction
MP Absorb
AP: 125
Type: Reaction
Recovery
Target: Self
Trigger: The Red Mage is hit by a spell which deals damage and/or inflicts a negative status or effect.
The Red Mage has a chance to absorb the energy used on the spell that hit him. MP Absorb grants the Red Mage MP equal to the MP cost.
