Okay, so i've looked at the skill and I have determined flame spirit to be totally useless, and unless it is a prerequesties for a higher level skill, that i should discontinue it and instead max out my magic armour. Anyone know if fire spirit is completely irrelevant to level up? Has anyone seen the 2nd or 3rd job cygnus skill book yet? Does it mention fire spirit anywhere there?

So y dont u go and max magic armor instead of say.....Magic Guard?" I wanna see post of him quitting at level 70 because he cannot tank monster hits lolololol

Let me just make on more point: Magic guard makes magic armor obsolete. You're not going to be taking that much damage any way with magic guard. A mage with magic guard is as good as a warrior (maybe even better) in endurance. +40 def is not going to make a big difference if you have magic guard maxed. And the Blaze wiz is, for all intents and purposes, primarily a long range class (as are all other mages). You shouldn't be getting hit in the first place, especially once you get teleport.

All of the spirits are for show obviously. At max level, it only does a max of 600~700 damage. It only proves its point by being like an effective finisher for low level monsters.

Flame spirit is AMAZING! It can easily dish out quite a bit of damage when mobbing with flame pillar!

Well, you go do what you want. No one is stopping you. But I knew a Mage who got Magic Armor instead of MP Recovery (an Adventurer), and he said he doesn't even turn on Magic Armor because it's worth less than the MP it costs. Just letting you know, both are pretty useless later on (unless you plan on going naked), so why not get the one that's more useful in the beginning?

ChillAURA said: "wait how do sprites gib Defense? every time i summon mine, i dont see mah Defense stat go up :/" They don't give defense (I just found that out in this thread) they only give def in KMS. The attack at max is 20. It can hit up to 3 monsters so that would be 60 at maximum.
