In the hands of a skilled practitioner, thaumaturgy can be a force of terrifying destruction. At the heart of this school of magic lies the ability to call forth and command the latent aether within oneself through deep introspection.
To then mold that aether into sorcery, the thaumaturge makes use of a scepter or staff, within which is housed a medium—a natural stone imbued with magical properties. The guild is centered at the Arrzaneth Ossuary in Ul’dah, within whose hallowed halls are said to reside powers of life, death, and the beyond.
Below is a list of current actions and traits for the Thaumaturge class.
By completing quests the Thaumaturge can become a Black Mage.
As a Thaumaturge you should be focusing on INT as this increases magic attack power.
Thaumaturge Actions
Actions are skills that the Thaumaturge can equip to their bar and select to use at any time as long as their timer is available. Actions used in a combo will generate additional damage and effects.
