Reraise
(Time Magic Lv.6)		 A revival spell that automatically resurrects the user once upon being incapacitated. It's a safety net in battle, ensuring survival during prolonged fights or encounters with high-damage enemies.

Slow and Haste Controls Action Speed

The primary Time Magic spells are Slow and Haste, which can control the speed at which allies and enemies move. If used well, allies can complete their attacks or heals before the enemy's turn, giving you a big advantage in battle.

How to Play the Time Mage

Manipulate Time to Gain Advantage

The main role of the Time Mage is to support allies with Time Magic, such as Haste, Slow, and Quick, which allows them to freely manipulate the action speed of both allies and enemies.By taking the first move during the party's turn, they can provide a variety of support depending on the situation, such as stabilizing attacks and recovery, or slowing down the enemy's action speed to create opportunities for counterattacks.

Restrict Enemies With Slow World

With Slow World, it is possible to limit the actions of almost all enemies to once every two turns. Using Default to reduce damage during turns when the enemy is moving and concentrating attacks during turns when the enemy is not moving helps maintain control over the battle. This strategy reduces the likelihood of being wiped out in one sudden attack.

Offensive or Healing

The Time Mage is a support-type job that has the same high Intelligence as Black Mages and can use offensive magic such as Quake and Meteor. By combining powerful attack magic, they can also serve as an attacker, so try to use it according to your party's situation. In addition, Quick, which becomes available at job level 10, can be stacked to increase the number of attacks by up to 150%. Pairing it with a physical attacker job further boosts your attack power.

For greater versatility in magic, you can set the Black Mage's Black Magic as your Job Command to use a wide range of offensive and status ailment magic. Alternatively, setting the White Mage's White Magic improves your ability to support allies with healing.
