Description:

Among the different Book of Creatures-category Mage-line classes, [Elementalist] might be the most unorthodox of the Intermediate tier.

While other classes in this category generally tame and/or summon creatures to have them fight for the magician, [Elementalists] instead ask for assistance from the nearby elemental spirits to enhance themselves or their allies. "Elemental spirits" in this case refer to clusters of aether that have developed their consciousness to certain degrees. In other words, G-rank spirits.

Due to its nature, the most important status value for an Elementalist is MP, followed by LP. Asking the spirits for assistance comes with the cost of giving them MP in exchange for their services, and the total number of spirits one can ask for help is limited by one's LP. However, if it becomes possible to stack several spirits' effects on top of each other, the Elementalist will be able to perform no worse than even Advance-tier classes.

This class is often confused with the [Shaman] class, as their powers both rely on their environment. The difference is that the [Shaman] class' spells are based on the nature of their location while [Elementalist] recruits the spirits that are born in that area.

As for this class' acquisition requirements, one needs to have cleared the quest: "Spring of Spirits". To do that, one has to locate a "spirit spring", a natural location that produces elemental spirits, without assistance from anyone else. It is more difficult than one would think, because elemental spirits cannot normally be seen by common people, and the spirit springs will rapidly disappear after it has been born before reappearing in a different location.

Unlocked skills:

Unlocks from having Elementalist as the Main Class: [Spirit's Sight Lv.1] Unlocks at Lv.1: [Call Spirit Lv.1] Unlocks at Lv.1: [Spirit Assistance Lv.1] Unlocks at Lv.10: [Leadership Lv.1] Unlocks at Lv.20: [Charisma Lv.1] Unlocks at Lv.30: [Reduced Mana Consumption Lv.1] Unlocks at Lv.40: [Spirit Magic Lv.1] Unlocks at Lv.50: [Language of Spirits Lv.1] [Spirit's Sight]: A perception-type skill that allows one to see spirits and powers related to them. This skill is both something spirit-type creatures are born with as well as an important tool to clear the "Spring of Spirits" quest. Therefore, most [Elementalists] are often spirit-type creatures themselves, as they already possess this ability. [Call Spirit]: A magic-type skill that acts as this class' keystone. It is the skill that allows the Elementalist to call upon the power of any nearby spirits. [Spirit Assistance]: A magic-type skill that allows the Elementalist to use the spirits called by [Call Spirit]. This is generally to enhance weapons, armor, or other magic spells with the power of the spirits. [Leadership]: A leadership-type skill that increases how much LP one has. [Charisma]: A leadership-type skill that lowers the LP cost for recruiting allies to leadership-skill-created groups. [Reduced Mana Consumption]: An ability-type skill that reduces the MP cost for other skills or magic spells. Or in this class' case, the MP-cost needed to use [Call Spirit]. [Spirit Magic]: A magic-type skill that can be used alongside [Call Spirit] and any other magic-type skill from the Book of Worlds or Book of Styles. [Spirit Magic] allows one to cast an elemental spell based on any spell one can use from a magic skill from the two mentioned Books. The difference is that one can have spirits one has recruited to change the spell's element and enhance its powers. [Language of Spirits]: A passive skill that improves the usage of spirit-summoning spells. It also makes it easier to convince elemental spirits to assist the user.

Mira's comment: I'm not sure if I need the last skill. Those cute little light balls always seem to want to help me.

Noire's comment: ...It's the breasts, right? All the spirits out there are just a bunch of perverts, right!?
