Professor
Professor is the transcendent class of the Sage, gained after rebirth. Professors keep the Sage's entire toolkit and gain powerful support and disruption skills: Soul Burn to destroy an enemy's SP, Mind Breaker to amplify the magic damage a target takes, Memorize to slash cast time, and the Wall of Fog and Spider Web battlefield-control fields. They remain the Mage line's premier utility and anti-caster class.
Skills
Soul Burn
| Aegis name | PF_SOULBURN |
|---|---|
| Job | Professor |
| Type | Active |
| Target | Enemy |
| Max level | 5 |
| SP cost | 80 / 90 / 100 / 110 / 120 |
| Range | 9 cells |
| Cooldown | 10s (Lv 1–4), 15s (Lv 5) |
Soul Burn attempts to instantly destroy 100% of an enemy's SP, with a success chance of 40% to 70% by level. A failed cast backfires and drains the Professor's own SP instead. At level 5 only, the cast also deals magic damage equal to twice the SP burned (to the target on success, or to the caster on failure). → Soul Burn
Mind Breaker
| Aegis name | PF_MINDBREAKER |
|---|---|
| Job | Professor |
| Type | Active |
| Target | Enemy |
| Max level | 5 |
| SP cost | 12 / 15 / 18 / 21 / 24 |
| Range | 9 cells |
| Duration | 30 seconds |
Mind Breaker debuffs a single enemy for 30 seconds, raising its magic attack by 20 × SkillLv percent while reducing its magic defense by 12 × SkillLv percent (up to +100%/−60% at level 5). It also cancels the target's current cast and forces monsters to aggro the Professor. Success chance is 55 + 5 × SkillLv percent. → Mind Breaker
Memorize
| Aegis name | PF_MEMORIZE |
|---|---|
| Job | Professor |
| Type | Supportive |
| Target | Self |
| Max level | 1 |
| SP cost | 1 |
Memorize is a self-buff with a fixed 5-second cast time that halves the variable cast time of the Professor's next 5 learned-skill casts. Spells granted by items are unaffected, and the buff lasts until all five charges are spent. → Memorize
Wall of Fog
| Aegis name | PF_FOGWALL |
|---|---|
| Job | Professor |
| Type | Active |
| Target | Ground |
| Max level | 1 |
| SP cost | 25 |
| Range | 9 cells |
| Element | Earth |
| Duration | 20 seconds |
Wall of Fog conjures an Earth-element fog cloud on the ground for 20 seconds that Blinds any unit standing inside it (100% chance), crippling their accuracy. The blind is refreshed while inside and lingers 10 seconds after leaving; targets on a Deluge tile are immune. → Wall of Fog
Spider Web
| Aegis name | PF_SPIDERWEB |
|---|---|
| Job | Professor |
| Type | Active |
| Target | Enemy |
| Max level | 1 |
| SP cost | 50 |
| Range | 9 cells |
| Duration | 16 seconds |
| Catalyst | 1 Spider Web |
Spider Web ensnares an enemy for 16 seconds, rooting it in place and cutting its Flee by 50%. While caught, the target takes double Fire-element damage; the first Fire hit deals that doubled damage and breaks the web. Costs 50 SP and 1 Spider Web item. → Spider Web
