This is a hypothetical build for a Red Mage in Final Fantasy XIV. Any new jobs will certainly be added after the introduction of Dark Knight, Machinist, and Astrologian and the raising of the level cap to 60; however, this build does not take those into account because not enough information is currently available. This is just for fun. If you don't think this is fun, feel free to move along.
