Been playing since 1.0 for this exact moment thank you. I can't stress how much i needed Water Spells.
RIP Fluid Aura; you could have been great.
Fr Water has to be the most beautiful and flexible element to have in terms of creativity. I'm surprised there's no Job dedicated to using Water-based spells.
Doesn't even have to be a magic user. It could be a Tank creating defensive geysers, melee DPS using weapons made out of water, ranged DPS using a literal water gun, or a Healer with Water-based healing techniques. My only guess would be that creating good water animations is a headache.
While I cannot openly endorse the use of mods. I will say, this flexibility of aether and the use of elements is actually lore accurate. hahaha
Why not?
@@elgatochurro Because the use of third party software is a ban worthy offense in FFXIV. Simple as.
@@SynodicScribe even just this huh? Hmmmmmmmm
Well now I'm concerned about having it
The spells are legit what id love for blk to have...
@@elgatochurro It's a shame yeah. But if someone were to use it, and not go around telling the world they use it, I bet said person wouldn't be found out and punished. Just a theory.
@@elgatochurro You can use mods - just don't talk about it in game and you're fine.
Love seeing Roegadyn representation for these. Thank you 💕
Finally, Conjurer from 1.0 is back
Very simple yet great execution, Love the passion behind this and cant wait to see more of your works.
That is so clever! Using the other elements for Black Mage. It makes me wish this was an official class. Those animations are stunning!
This is so good. Unfortunately, there are only so few good Black Mage VFX mods, so I'm glad we can add this to the list now.
this looks so clean!
Thank you!! I'm glad you like it - I couldn't have done any of it without your help 😭
awesome stuff. Thank you for finally making Thunder into an actual bolt of lightning. I think I'll be taking your replacements for that, and Xeno -> High Holy, along with Amplifier. Replacing the fire and ice spells though feels like it would mess with me in terms of rotation and keeping track of things haha.
That's honestly something I'm worrying about 😂 Especially because single target, you switch over with Water/Aero, but AoE you still switch over with Blizzard/Fire.
Flood Freeze Flare Tornado Burst
*crying* rest in peace my beloved aero 3 animation..
FR though this is amazing! Fantastic job!
this is some seriosuly high quality stuff! great effects work! Can't wait to see what you do in the future!!
I don't know if someone has mentioned this or not but when doing low level content you still end up seeing umbral ice 1& 2 and astral fire 1 & 2. I really love the mod and have used it for at least a month now but I was just wondering if you planned on changing the previous umbral and astral stances. Love your work and hope to see more!
Really hoping the next new Jobs have flashy skills like these ones. I know the point of different Jobs is to have their own magic types, but it wouldn't hurt if pre-existing magic types were given to other Jobs too. Imagine having a Job that can mix elements together, like Water and Thunder would create a powerful shock DoT. Or Fire and Wind to deal multiplied damage.
Going by the elemental wheel, Wind/Fire/Water as Astral and Earth/Lightning/Ice as Umbral would probably be a nicer split since those are the elements generally associated with each polarity. Alternatively there's the traditional Black/White split of Fire/Ice/Lightning and Water/Earth/Wind.
Still this fits the Elementalist feeling that I always thought BLM was missing!
Nice! I made mod like this too once, though it was much less refined and I wasn't satisfied with it. The umbral/astral motes in particular look really good, and all the spells have the right BLM energy to make them look like they belong to the job. Personally I'd probably miss flare and don't know how to feel about holy, but overall this looks like a great package. Well done!
By the way, any plans for Paradox?
This is literally my dream come true mod!!!!!! Thank you so much!
Yaaaaaaaaa!!! This looks amazing!
This is so good! Keep up the good work❤
You kind of predicted Pictomancer!
I love this but I was wondering, is it not possible to change the casting animation? The Black Mage glows the colour of the spell element, normally. But since this is not adjusted, here we have them glowing red for a wind spell, for example.
6.4 gave even more validity to this mod, given that we see Shatotto's soul in P9 and she uses Aero magic
i know this is from 5 months ago, but i'm actually pretty certain that's Ixtab, one of the shb s ranks! that voice uses a significant amount of her quotes
@@bonsaibnuuy Interesting theory, but wouldn't Ixtab's soul be in a different Aetherial Sea to the one that Kokytos was ripping it's souls from, since it was on the first?
Minfilia and Emet's souls were explicitly moved from the first's lifestream to the source's by Hydaelyn, but I can't imagine she'd do the same for Ixtab
Gotta be one of the best looking BLM mods out there. Great job!
Ive never been so sad i play on ps5, this looks so good
10/10
Really cool!!! Definitely using this~!
this is amazing!!
If they ever put elementalist into the game, this would be it
This is amazing
One thing kinda kills the deal… there is not near enough differentiation between umbral and astral stages by the coloring of their respective orbs… remember, battles can get heated with all sorts of crap filling the screen… so such subtle differences would have me wondering what state I was in when I need to be concentrating on the battle.
Players worldwide shall now be able to fulfill their dreams of being Shantotto in FFXIV!
Nicely done! Glad to see another talented VFX Editor coming onto the scene.
I do have a question though: why is water in Umbral and fire in Astral?
Thank you so much! Love your work as well. To answer your question, The fire phase spells are all aero stone & fire, and the ice phase spells are water and ice (thunder is just out there lol), so it seemed like the right fit to split the orbs that way.
@@MaxValparaiso I mostly meant that isn't Aero, Stone, and Water normally associated with astral while fire, thunder, and ice umbral? Or am I screwing up my lore?
@@sortofarbitrary6688 Ahh, the way I understand it each can go either way? I'm not 100% on that but I don't think it's that as strictly defined as all that. The original buffs are Astral Fire III & Umbral Ice III, at any rate.
@@MaxValparaiso oh I think you're right. I guess it's just we usually associate them with astral and umbral since they are split between white and black mage that way. It works really well no matter how you decide to split them.
Fire, lightning, and wind are commonly astrally polarized since astral is about activity and destruction, whereas ice, water, and earth are commonly umbral, associated with stasis
Personally would've preferred the animations to match their polarities but either way it's purely aesthetics 😅
Wow this is beautiful!!
this mod is so awesome. i hope this is what blm looks like next expansion
That was so perfect
This idea rocks
Mod like that who are just cosmetic is in my opunion the only mod that can be allowed
hey i got a little question, i've installed the mod but somehow my icons aren't changing? do you have a clue why that is?
Hey there! I was just digging through this mod myself, turns out the pathway in the mod is maybe wrong! I had to go into my mods folder and drag everything out of the Gray Mage Ability Icon mod folder out into the Mods folder. It's either that or I had my groups configured incorrectly. I changed both at the same time so I'm not sure!
I kinda want this in my game id feel like an actual black mage again.
Heya, having the problem that the UI doesnt change.
Got any idea why ?
Hey! Is the ability icon mod activated in penumbra's default collection? If so, logging out and logging back in should make them show up properly.
that was great
I won't run mods because I feel like I skate the line enough by running the game on linux, but the gfx's are absolutely beautiful and I would install it otherwise.
This is a very cool and beautiful mod. The only issue I have with it is the orbs. It looks like you reversed Lightning and Earth. Earth is Umbral and Lightning is Astral, in the video it's reversed. Still its beautiful. I want these spells now.
I imagine they had to take some liberties due to Thunder spells already falling kinda anywhere, as opposed to only during Astral Fire phase. I personally might have replaced Despair with High Holy, and Xeno with Stone IV, just to not disrupt the theming. I still think this is cool AF tho.😊
@@spoinkable2217 not sure any liberties were needed/used. It's just the Umbral elements and the Astral elements. The elements would still follow the same pattern.
Thank you for pointing it out. That was bugging me too.
in the actual lore Fire, Wind and Ice are Astral, while Water, Lighting and Earth are Umbral. As such lighting is in the correct phase, but ice and earth are swapped. The class symbol used in the video only represents the in game assignment of elements to White and Black Mages, not Astral and Umbral alignment.
@@donkiwi4888 The chart we see in Shadowbringers literally depicts which elements are Astral and which are Umbral. What you are thinking of is known as the Three Conquests (Earth, Lightning, Water) and Three Submissions (Fire, Ice, Wind) which are the triangles you see in the depictions of the Elements. It should be noted that each element does have both aspects, it's just where their natural alignments are. Like Astral aligned Fire would be actual flames, but Umbral aligned would be the desert heat. The First lore book gives these examples and explanations.
i'm a bit unsure about removing Flare, i love that spell.
Maybe putting Tornado over High fire ?
Flood, Freeze, Burst, Tornado, Quake, Flare II, (animation of dispair)
This is delicious!❤
Oh, Aero 3... how I miss thee
u can have this one .
Oh you made an OG Sage, word.
Always happy to see people remembering Sage for what it was.
I am obsessed with this mod OMG. It fits perfectly for my WoL whom I wrote as WHM/BLM switch ❤❤❤ Thank you for this awesome work
What's the song for this? :o
replacing flare???????? crime
I feel like i would need to relearn my rotation..
"What if it was grey?"
🖤 > 🩶
"YEAAAAAAAH!!!!!"
Have black mages in any ff title had access to holy?
Yes and no
It is possible in FF2 and FF5, but it because of how those two games works
FF2 let anyone use anything without a real restriction aside from not having more than 16 spells learned at once on a singular character so you could slap holy on your dedicated black magic user, it probably won't hit as hard as your other spells, but it is possible
And FF5 have the job system that allow you to use skills from other jobs if leveled enough, so if your white mage is high enough, you could switch them to black mage and give them the white magic skill
Where's Ley Lines? o_O
.... fuck this might actually make me play BLM
Oh look, a BLM from FFXI
This is what sage could have been if they didn't turn it into a technodoctor.
Honestly.
