The Arithmetician (算術士, Sanjutsushi?), also known as Calculator, is a Job class from Final Fantasy Tactics. A high-level magic class, the Arithmetician use Arithmeticks ("Math Skill" for the PlayStation version) can cast most magick for free and without a Charge Time, assuming they already know the spell and they can do the right calculations for it. Calculations are done by choosing a condition, like Level, then choosing a number, like 5.

With those conditions, Arithmeticians will cast a selected spell targeting all units (allies and foes) whose level is a multiple of 5. To counter their powerful abilities, Arithmeticians suffer from having fairly low Magick attack power among the mage classes and the lowest Speed rating in the entire game, and other units may take many turns before the Arithmetician's even comes up. An easy way to counter this is to send the unit on errands. It costs 4,200 JP to master this Job.

Magick Attack \times PWR \times (Faith/100) \times (Target Faith/100)

The success rate of inflicting statuses is as follows:

(Magick Attack + PWR) \times (Faith/100) \times (Target Faith/100)
