That said, the very best decks at the Tournament Play level almost always utilize at least two colors. (In the example, you might have the perfect White removal spell in your hand, but only Green-mana producing Forests on the field.) As such, it can be very tricky to find that sweet spot between a predictable mono-colored deck and a cripplingly overspecialzed multi-color deck. However, adding additional colors requires adding mana sources (typically basic lands) for those colors as well, and a common result is not being able to play your spells reliably. For example, if your mono-Green deck is getting trounced by your opponents "big" creatures, add in some White "removal" to take them out. As each color has some fairly significant weaknesses, one strategy to cover for them is to add more colors to the deck. Present in Magic: The Gathering when it comes to deck building and the color wheel.At least he's honest about his shortcomings. Overlord (2012) has Succulent, a perfect picture example of this, he is an illusionist and a swordsman, being equally good at both, which is not much.Normally, a mage can only have one type of affinity Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid: Rio Wesley has affinity with both fire and lightning.Cardcaptor Sakura: Clow Reed is one of the most powerful mages in the setting because he combines both eastern and western magic after inheriting each from a parent.So basically a well rounded Shinigami is also a bit of spellcaster. In a way, Shinigami themselves are this too,they have their zanpakutoo and and samurai-like mentality and lifestyle, being honorable warriors, but (some of them) are also capable of using kido spells in case their swords aren't an option, or in tandem.The former are Shinigami who gained Hollow powers, while the latter are Hollows who gained Shinigami powers. This is almost certainly a Mythology Gag for the Final Fantasy series' Trope Namer since it is a tech demo for that franchise. Agni's Philosophy: Agnis is shown to use both lightning magic and healing magic.Compare Hybrid Monster and Hybrid-Overkill Avoidance. If Unequal Rites are in play, the Red Mage is likely to face serious discrimination from all sides. To avoid confusion, the Red Mage may well be a single class with access to spells from different classes, or the result of a magician who has studied in more than one magical tradition. May suffer (and benefit) doubly from Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards. See also Class and Level System and Splat. If someone is able to master all forms of magic, without limitations or drawbacks, they're likely The Archmage instead (and may also have All Your Powers Combined).Ĭontrast Crippling Overspecialization and Master of One Magic. Common pairings include: White Magic and Black Magic, Light and Dark, or Fire and Ice (and occasionally another Elemental Power). However, the Red Mage isn't just a swordsperson who picks one school of magic to go with their blade, but just about any two (and sometimes more) schools of magic. In rare cases, they may also be as physically gifted as a Magic Knight or Combat Medic. The most common form of Red Mage combines White Mage and Black Mage with a hint of Glass Cannon/ Squishy Wizard. It's not often a single magic user can pull off a Yin-Yang Bomb, after all. While some mages scoff at different forms of magic, the Red Mage takes the time to study them, and by learning them becomes truly versatile. Think about it this way: they are the fantasy equivalent of a Renaissance Man or Omnidisciplinary Scientist, skilled multi-disciplinarians of already complex and taxing fields. Theatrics and balance issues aside, the true wonder and claim to fame of the Red Mage is that they are talented, open-minded, and have trained in a way that allows them to understand and become able practitioners in two fundamentally different forms of magic. while mastering neither, and perhaps even gaining both their weaknesses! Much like a magical Jack of All Stats, this cousin to the Magic Knight fuses two otherwise inimical capabilities and gains strength from both. One such branch is the Red Mage, a magician capable of casting spells from two different or even mutually exclusive schools of magic.
