Vana D'iel is a magical place, and if you plan on becoming one of the many magic users in Final Fantasy XI, this is a good section to read. Magic is catagorized by elements, and every element has it's weakness. Make sure that you know the element for every spell and monster and know it's corresponding elemental weakness.

Magic Usage
Many jobs in Final Fantasy XI use magic as a tool to "get the job done". Some jobs such as Paladin or Dark Knight use very little magic as an addition to the abilities they already have; however, other jobs such as White Mage and Black Mage use magic as their primary weapon against the many evils of Vana D'iel. Characters with these types of jobs are what some might describe as "physically challenged", but when it comes to magic, they are experts. The key to being a good magic user is to:
- Have all available spells for your job level.
- Know when to use magic and when to hold back.
- Know what spell to use at the right moment (attack/enfeebling).
Learning New Spells
As a magic user, you will want to have the most up-to-date spells as possible according to your job level. "But how do I obtain and learn those new spells???" Well, I'm glad you ask... You need to take a trip down to the local magic shop or auction house and search through the spells they have for sale. The ones that are available for your job level will appear in the color yellow. Then you just have to use the new scroll you just bought and... BAM! ... you've learned a new spell!
