'''Blue Mage''' is a versatile melee-mage hybrid job available after completing [[An Empty Vessel]].

Blue Mages learn [[Blue Magic]] from enemies and set those spells to customize their combat role. Depending on the spells set, a Blue Mage can gain access to offensive magic, physical attacks, support abilities, healing, enfeebling, and job traits.

== Blue Magic ==
Main article: [[:Category:Blue Magic|Blue Magic]]

Unlike most magic, [[Blue Magic]] must be learned from monsters and then set before it can be used. Each spell has a Blue Magic Point cost, and the number of spells that can be set is limited by the Blue Mage's level.
