Balance Gauge
Balance Gauge is Red Mage's Job Gauge.
Balance Gauge in PvE
The Balance Gauge displays the current amount of black mana and white mana you have accumulated. When both black and white mana reach a certain amount, weaponskills such as Riposte become enchanted and will deal additional damage.
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.

Balance Gauge in PvP
The Balance Gauge displays the current amount of black mana and white mana a red mage has accumulated. Black mana is accumulated by casting spells commonly associated with black magic (such as Verthunder), and white mana by casting spells associated with white magic (such as Verstone). There are also some spells and actions that affect both.
