However, now that I have some of the advancement complexities hammered out, I think it'll go a lot smoother. It wasn't the writing that took the time, it was the math! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Yep, the Red Mage will get some very similar powers. He'll also be getting some powers like a white mage's. And some like a bard's. Because he is the bannana split of jobs, a little bit of everything. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Spellcraft is just a sub-genre of "Craft". Craft works off of the material you're working in FFZ, so there's Craft (stone), Craft (wood), Craft (ice), Craft (magic). With that last you can do things like create magic items and golems and other wonder-works. So BLMs get it, after a fashion. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Depending on what role Craft (magic) will have further in the game, I may end up separating it out, but at the moment it's another way to make stuff.Metamagic feats like that do exist, but they don't work when a black mage uses their quick-casting abilities. Specifically, they can't be used if you're already taking a full-round or fast action that round. So they're available when a black mage wants to use any spell (not just black magic), but doesn't want to hassle with spending the whole round doing it. And their requirements are high enough that a black mage will already have Doublecast by the time he gets to Quicken. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Designing the caller is actually like designing one different class for every possible summon. It might be a while before I get to that one. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I'm determined to have the tribe not be as minor a choice as race is in D&D. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
