Well, if you liked my Incarnate try, then here you go, another frame. I can work on it if you want.

[Kagebunji]

Small update, with changes you wanted:

[mav]

For some reason the robe looks flat and it's kinda unexciting.

The Consume** technique sounds pretty neat too. Can't wait to see these classes in action.

[Kagebunji]

Probably because I changed his strange thing into belt, also I deleted symbols, that's why it looks flat.

[SilvasRuin]

"Creates mana from the Incarnate, and send it to the target. Can't target himself."

I suggest this instead:
"Summons forth mana from the Aether to grant to allies."

I'm aware Aether is not a FF concept, but it does fit, particularly because it can should easily heal more mp than it costs with that setup.  The mana has got to come from somewhere.  Alternatively, you could use mist or Mist instead as that is a FF concept and is used in some of the other Ivalice games.



"Opens a magical rift trought witch the Incarnate weapon can pass and strike from afar. "
Corrected spelling and grammar:
"Opens a magical rift through which the Incarnate's weapon can pass and strike from afar. "



"Get rid of all magical energy, killing himself in the process, and giving it to surrounding victims. "

I'm guessing since you use the word "victims" that it is supposed to be harmful and "giving" is just poor word choice.
Suggested:
"Ignite one's own mana to trigger a violent blast of magical energy in one final attack."
Perhaps All or Nothing Cancel Critical could work...?




"Incarnates are representation of magic itself, flowing with power. Their magical sheild protects them from death since their bodies are frail."

Suggested:
"Incarnates are representation of magic itself, flowing with power. Their magical shields help protect their frail bodies."

[Kokojo]

Thank you Silvas, those changes will be made soon in the game and here. ^^

I appreciate.

[Wasabi]

Consume can't be applicable with a "only usable when Critical only" since that's applying another status. And it won't work with the self-destruct formula, since the status isn't self-targeting but targeting other units. Hopefully there's little to no damage with this ability, since you can't apply a healing element to this formula (it's Dmg_(CasMaxHP-CasCurHP)).

[Asmo X]

What is it an incarnate of?

[Kokojo]

Magic.

[Asmo X]

Kokojo, I do not believe the word "Incarnate" on its own is a noun other than if you were saying "something-incarnate" (e.g Devil-incarnate).

[SilvasRuin]

Asmo is right, but I can't come up with anything that quite captures the meaning I think you wish for the name to have or I would suggest it.

[Kagebunji]

I have new version of Incarnate with me, but I will post it in Saturday(or Friday if I'm lucky), how about a portrait? His head colors and design are left unchanged, so please base the port of the latest version posted here.

[mav]

Incarnation may work, but sounds a little lame...If you show me the new sprite, I might be able to provide a portrait. I still need to work out Gospel's portrait though, so I don't know when I'd get to it.

[Kagebunji]

Well, you can base the portrait on the latest version I posted here, head and neck remained unchanged.

As for the sprite itself, this may take a while, but hey, I have now 2 weeks free from school, so there will be plenty of time to sprite during night

[mav]

Alright, I'll get to the portrait sometime today.

[Kagebunji]

Ok Mav, thanks .

[Kokojo]

Name changed to ''Magus'' since ''Incarnate'' name did not fit.

[mav]

As promised, the portrait (it's a rough WIP, that needs some decent feedback). I just took the portrait equivalent to the pieces Kage used to assemble the sprite, but the results are...quirky.

[SilvasRuin]

Magus is bland.  i'm trying to think of what better fits the "state of being" theme you seemed to be going for.  There isn't a word I can find in the English language that means "an entity of magic" specifically...  Entite or however it is spelled was the name for the higher tier elementals in Final Fantasy XII, so that MIGHT work...  What I feel is the best and doesn't suggest an elemental alignment though is Transcendent.
