Red Mage

Introduction

“

On the eastern edge of Abalathia's Spine lies the mountainous region of Gyr Abania.

It is in these elevated lands that people took shelter, when a burning star guided them away from the Sixth Umbral Calamity's treacherous floodwaters. The survivors gathered from near and far, and amongst them were refugees of the sorcerous cities of Mhach and Amdapor.

These sworn enemies buried their history for the sake of the future, and cast aside their vestments of black and white. Upon the remnants of their arts a new discipline was built, and the first red mages stepped forward with rapiers in hand to fight back against the rising tides of destruction.

— FinalFantasyXIV.com Red Mage

Red Mages were born out of a long conflict between the nations of Mhach and Amdapor. These fierce mages combine black and white magic to twist the battlefield, and strive where others otherwise would fail. Armed with rapiers and a magicked crystal medium, red mages are fit for quick combos of magic spells and steel-enfused blows.

Job mechanics

Official Lodestone Job Guide (Always up-to-date)

Balance Gauge is Red Mage's Job Gauge.

Balance Gauge

Red Mages are unique in that they have a Balance Gauge that shows their accumulated White Mana and Black Mana.

You can obtain the two types of mana by using certain spells. Once enough of each has been acquired,   Riposte will become   Enchanted Riposte,   Zwerchhau will become   Enchanted Zwerchhau, and   Redoublement will become   Enchanted Redoublement.

Certain actions and effects will also be strengthened.

If the gap between black and white mana accumulation grows too large, the crystal at the top of the gauge will change color, and it will become more difficult to accumulate the lesser of the two.

Upon learning the trait   Mana Stack, the Mana Stack Gauge will be displayed.

Maximum stacks of mana can be accumulated using   Enchanted Riposte,   Enchanted Zwerchhau,   Enchanted Redoublement, and   Enchanted Moulinet, then used to execute certain actions such as   Verflare and   Verholy (acquired at level 70).

Mana stacks are consumed when any magic is used.
