Mobile:Scholar

“In an age long past, when mankind flourished under the radiance of arcane mastery, the island of Vylbrand was home to a city-state called Nym. Though the history of that age tells of countless wars waged with earth-shattering incantations, it was the brilliant strategic maneuvering of Nym's scholars that allowed their mundane army of mariners to throw back would-be conquerors time and again. These learned men and women defended the freedom of their tiny nation with their unique command over spell-weaving faeries, utilizing the creatures' magicks to heal the wounded and bolster the strength of their allies.

Job mechanics

Aetherflow

Upon learning Aetherflow, the Aetherflow Gauge will be displayed, indicating stacks of Aetherflow. Aetherflow can be used to execute certain actions such as Lustrate.
Fae Aether

Tap the gauge to summon the faerie. Upon learning the action Fae Aether, you'll be able to view the Fae Aether Gauge, which displays the amount of Fae Aether of the faerie. Fae Aether is accumulated when you use Aetherflow to execute certain actions such as Lustrate during battle while a faerie is summoned. Accumulated fae aether can then be used to execute actions such as Whispering Dawn. Every 3 seconds, the faerie automatically casts Embrace with a potency of 30 on the party member with the lowest HP percentage.
