Scholars are not technically mages, but tacticians that use a variety of abilities to skillfully manipulate their library of magic in new ways. Using massive tomes, known as "Grimoire," a Scholar can unlock a number skills and spells unique to the job. The foundation of a Scholar is comprised of the "White Grimoire" and "Black Grimoire," two abilities that are used to enhance White Magic and Black Magic respectively. Available after completing the quest, A Little Knowledge.
Displays grimoire abilities available when using Light Arts or Dark Arts. The abilities available within Stratagems correspond to the type of Arts the scholar currently has activated. No abilities will be displayed if neither Light Arts nor Dark Arts has been selected.
Stratagems do not have a recast time. However, the use of these abilities is restricted by the number of "charges" available, with each ability consuming one charge per use. When using the "/recast" text command, it is necessary to nominate a specific Stratagem to which the scholar currently has access, such as "/recast Celerity". This command will display the amount of time remaining until a new charge will be generated, as well as the current number of charges available. The number of charges available depends on the level of the scholar. When set as main job, a scholar has one charge available at level 10, two at level 40, and a maximum of three at level 70. When set as support job, a scholar always has a maximum of one charge available, regardless of level. Charges are regained at four-minute intervals, meaning twelve minutes are required to regain three charges.
