Levy McGarden / Script Mage
Among those born with the talent for magic, there are some who kindle a love of knowledge and dedicate their lives to seeking it out. These wizards often awaken to the use of Letter Magic of some variety, and Solid Script is one such type. A Script Mage is capable of leveraging her large vocabulary and proficiency with the written word to literally weaponize them against her enemies. Whatever word is 'written' in the air takes on all the physical properties of that word, and can be used accordingly. Additionally, at higher levels of mastery the mage can also alter or cancel the effects of any magic based on the written word. Whoever coined the phrase 'the pen is mightier than the sword' may well have been describing the talents of a Script Mage.

Strengths: Besides their large stores of knowledge and impressive magical power, the primary strength of the Script Mage is versatility. Solid Script is a flexible magic, capable of numerous different feats limited only by the vocabulary, imagination, and creativity of the user. If a concept can be condensed efficiently into a single word, it is easily reproducible by the Script Mage. This makes their magic supremely useful for attack, defense, and general utility in a way that is unmatched by many other Jobs. This page has an example list of many of the ways Levy has used this magic in the past - she will have similar capabilities here.

Weaknesses: For all their utility, Script Mages are incredibly weak in physical combat. Their strength, defense, and physical endurance are all very low, and they do not naturally possess any proficiency in the use of weapons or armor. Once a Script Mage has exhausted their supply of magic, they do not have any other way of defending themselves except to flee combat entirely. Additionally, Solid Script can only summon one word at a time on a temporary basis, and only corresponding to basic concepts - writing the word 'AIRSHIP' is not something that will work, for example. Finally, because of how it works, it's impossible to hide the use of Solid Script magic, since there will always be a large word floating nearby the mage.
