So.... how much does it cost to be a strong magician?

we magicians are stupid. take off that glove and cast genesis, then put on that glove and cast genesis. how much different do you notice your damage is? if it can help you go from 2hit ko to 1hit ko, then it's worth it. if it doesnt, then it just further proves magicians are stupid for setting up a price for their own class. im sure you wouldve rather paid 2bil instead of 3bil.

25matk is the equivalent of 5 level ups but if looked at it that way, i suppose every level up is pointless too lol.

Skill points. The INT is pretty inconsequential; the main difference between, say, a 70 I/L and a 90 I/L is that the 90 has 3rd job skills. If you somehow gave the 70 maxed IS and Amp, and compared it to a 90 that trained with un-Amped Thunderbolt, the 70 would probably be better in terms of training rate and all.

But once you get to like 14x-15x you don't have much in the realm of skills to look forward to, so after that yeah levelups are pretty pointless
