Final Fantasy XIV: Thaumaturge and Illusionist info

Tags : FFXIV, Thaumaturge and Illusionist info, FFXIV news    

What a surprise to wake up this morning and see all this juicy information on Famitsu.com! With all this information out, you can be sure that the main FFXIV site will be updated later today. Stevemanly is going to race against the clock to translate as much as I can before the main site is updated (or before my first class today… whichever comes first) and get each section done as it is completed. Without further ado…

Illusionist

Illusionist is a discipline of magic that controls strong, elemental sorcery through a power called “illusion.” By examining their surroundings, they can see the flow of elements around them. Made from all-natural wood and materials, they use their “staff of illusions” (?) to change the elements around them into powerful magic. Their headquarters is in the Cave of the Tree of Meditation in Gridania.

Tools of the trade: Illusionist wands and staves

Illusionists use wands and other magic items to control the elements. Many of them are made from natural wood, but the “twig wand” is the best example of this. The “Radical root staff,” on the other hand, has a strange structure fixed to the end of it, which looks like it may have something to do with the use of “illusion.”

Thaumaturge
Controllers of the destructive magic of “Thaumaturgy.” Through the introspection of their true nature, they can call upon the power hidden deep in their heart. They call upon spiritual magic using wands and other tools fixed with decorations similar to rosaries seen in the Buddhist cultures. Their headquarters is a place of worship in Ul’dah.

 

Tools of the trade: Thaumaturgy

These are the magical tools of the thaumaturge. They’re a bit darker than the illusionist’s…
