Why Would I Want To Be A Mage

  1. Because it is fun! You can literally explode a lot of enemies in the game with magic.
  2. You can enjoy the cool effects magic does! You can burn everything, you can make a lake freeze and trap the enemies, you can make metal places be electrified... All of these effects change the gameplay!
  3. The Ring of the Lucii!!! It is super powerful and cool! Using it against daemons is very enjoyable and effective.
  4. To craft magic, you have to use items you find around the world, or items you get from killing animals. You you are an explorer, magic will be heavily rewarded!

Mage Build

  1. The Royal Arms Scepter of the Pious and Bow of the Clever scale with magic! This means the more magic you have, the more damage you will deal with these weapons. So be sure to learn their movesets!
  2. Good weapons for magic stats: Wizard Shield (you can farm it near the entrance of Rock of the Ravatogh, after beating the game), Sword of the Father (Royal Arm you get at Chapter 13), Mythril Pistol (for Prompto) and Mythril Knives (for Ignis).
  3. You can also farm Circlets (they give you magic stats) near the camp at Vesperpool after beating the game.

Note: I did not cover all items. A lot of them you can find at the Menace Dungeons (the hardest ones in the game). But at least the weapons I said are the best.

Crafting Magic

  1. The DAMAGE from your spell depends on it's Potency, your magic stat, the enemies' resistance to the element you are using (Fire, Blizzard or Thunder) and the enemies' spirit.
  2. There are a lot of types of magic...
  • Freecast: Chance of making your cast free
  • Failcast: Super powerful spell but has a chance to fail
  • Powercast: Super powerful spell but can only cast at close distance
  • Blastcast: Super powerful spell but hurts the user as well
  • Maxicast: Limit break up to 99.999 damage
