effective elvaan mage?

[Mystic Fury]

how effective would an elvaan black mage be? by effective i mean, will he be able to aquire every black magic spell? will he be just as helpful to groups as any other black mage? will he be able to solo as well as any other black mage (even though black magi arent good solo-ers, its comparitive). will he trail behind other black magi in terms of power, or will he be able to catch up at all. are there any benefits to playing an elvaan black mage over another race? thanks in advance

P.S. sorry if this is a newbie question or if it has been asked before. i couldnt find it being addressed on the boards.

Well I'm no importer, but I believe I can still answer your question to the best of my knowledge.

will he be able to aquire every black magic spell?

Yes he will

will he be just as helpful to groups as any other black mage?

It's not the best race for the jobs in terms of statistics, but yes he'll be just as much helpful, maybe even last longer (in terms of HP).

will he be able to solo as well as any other black mage (even though black magi arent good solo-ers, its comparitive)

Well yes, since its only coparative, and like I said above, with more HP (than a Taru) he will last longer, even if his spells risks being a little less potent.

the only thing im worried about is that his intelligence stat much lower than the tars, even lower than the humes. is this ok? can i raise it to still be formidable?

[Huck]

yes you can
