Being a white mage, i have two standards options for my subjob. What is a subjob? Well... how to explain? You know you can change your job using your moogle's magic, that is, clearing your body and mind of the knowledge you have about your current discipline, and making them ready to learn new things about something completely different.
Well, through an alchemic process, some wise old men are able to enable us to use the techniques of a second job we have learned. But this secondary job, or subjob, only help us halfway. You can't use all the knowledge you have learned for it, only the part that adds up to half the power you have in your main job.
So, as i was saying, as a white mage, i have two standard options for subjob. One is "black mage", following the path of the darkness and the nature elements. The other is "summoner", practicing a heretic form of magic where you summon the embodiements of nature themselves. Black mage has nice abilities to lend to the adept of white magic: for one we can increase our arsenal of enfeebling spells, and also, we learn time-space magic (spells like warp, tractor and escape, that are so useful for the job of a healer). Summoner, in the other side highly increases our magic endurance (or MP), since the art of summoning is so draining, and also allows us to perform half-power summonings... even though they are half power, they are enough to grant some defensive bonus to my companions and me. But more importantly, it grants refresh, a steady increase of our MP without needing to kneel and concentrate. Since us elvaans have a naturally low magic endurance, i need to train my summoning skills, to use it as my subjob.
When did i become a Summoner? Well, it isn't exactly easy. It was a quest that involved killing looooooooooooooooots of leeches. Hehehe, poor Shukie... she was the one who helped me killing them. She was so annoyed! At the end of that quest, Carbuncle (cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute! *^_^*) revealed himself to me, and lended me his power.
No matter how cute he is... when you are a summoner, you expect to be able to summon spirits, powerful beings that come to your aid.
There are many avatars. 8 of them are celestial, and everybody knows of them, because they have their own constellations. An element belongs to each one of them: Shiva is the avatar of Ice, Garuda is the avatar of Wind, Titan is the avatar of Earth, Ramuh is the avatar of Lightning, Leviathan is the avatar of Water, Ifrit is the avatar of Fire, Alexander is the avatar of Light and Odin is the avatar of Darkness.
And then we have 5 terrestrial avatars: Carbuncle (cute Carby! *^_^*) the bringer of rainbows, Fenrir, the guardian of the Moon, Diabolos, the ruler of dreams, Phoenix, the fiery bird of resurrection, and Bahamut, the conqueror of the skies.
Out of them all, summoners in Vana'diel have been only able to locate 9: Shiva, Garuda, Titan, Ramuh, Leviathan, Ifrit, Carbuncle, Fenrir and Diabolos. And from what i gathered from others adventurers, their havens were quite spread around Vanadiel.
So it was time for me to start travelling them all!
It was time for me to start my summoner pilgrimage! :D
