FFIII Scholar  
  • Weapons: Books
  • Magic level: Level 1 to Level 3 White and Black Magic spells
  • Special skill: Study
  • Level 99 item: Omnitome (intellect +10, mind+10)

Scholars, at first glance, seem similar to Red Mages. However, their attack is less, and they can Study enemies. Study is similar to Libra: It tells you the enemy's HP (though not for bosses) and their weaknesses. It also removes any beneficial magic on the monster. Scholars are fairly useful when you fight Hein; however, there are eventually spells that can do the job of Study. Scholars also have very little MP, which prevents them from being effective mages. To balance that, Scholars get twice as much damage from attack items.

  • Famicom version: they couldn't use magic and their Study skill was split in two: "Libra" shows enemy HP while "Study" shows enemy weakness, but neither removes enemy beneficial status; to compensate, their physical attacks were quite strong.
