Time Mage

Appearances: FF5, FFT, FFTA
Aliases: None

Time mages have the ability to slow down and speed up the actions of people, along with a hodge-podge of other spells. Like Bards, their magic is not damage-causing, thus they are no more than a weak support job. With many other classes that can kill the enemy before they even have a chance to attack, this class tends to fall by the wayside. Some Time Mages also can cast Meteor or Comet, a high damage attack with a low accuracy.

Similar Job Classes: Bard, White Mage, Black Mage
