- —In-Game Description
Blue Mage is a job class in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Humans can become a Blue Mage upon learning one skill for both the White Mage and Black Mage job classes. Blue Mages in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance wield Sabers, and, in addition to the standard ability to learn monster skills, can gain the ability to be immune to some status ailments. As with the blue mages from most games in the series, they learn their skills by being struck by the ability they are trying to learn. It is notable that many skills, such as White Wind, can only be learned when a Beastmaster in the party is controlling the monster, as a creature would never normally cast a spell such as that on an opponent.
Blue Mages cannot learn abilities from Morphers or allied Blue Mages; they must be learned from either the original monster or an opponent Blue Mage.
Goblins and Thundrakes will eventually become extinct, so Goblin Punch and Dragon Force must be obtained before then. The last opportunity for Dragon Force is Ogma the Worldwyrm (Mission #088 The Worldwrym), one of the post-completion missions. Goblin Punch can be acquired from the Dark Knight in Mission #097 The Dark Blade, also post-completion.
