Mastery certificate description
The Scholar (学者, Gakusha?) is a job class in Final Fantasy III. It is gained from the Fire Crystal. Using their analytical prowess, scholars are able to analyze an enemy's HP and any existing weakness. They also use the mystical know-how of ancient tomes to damage enemies. Their extensive knowledge allows them to double the effects of items they use.
