Enfeeblement Cloud (Su): This Limit Break allows the green mage to inflict status effects upon all enemies within a 30-ft.-radius, centered on her. Enemies within the area of effect are inflicted with Blind (Fortitude), Curse (Will), Disease (Fortitude), Immobilize (Fortitude), Poison (Fortitude), Sap (Fortitude), Silence (Will), Slow (Will), and Zombie (Fortitude) status unless they make a save for each status effect (DC 10 + half of the green mage’s level + her Intelligence or Wisdom modifier) to negate.

Spells and Cantrips
A green mage casts enfeebling and enhancing spells which are drawn from the green mage spell list. A green mage begins play with 2 1st level enfeebling spells and 2 1st level enhancing spells of her choice except for Blue Mage or Summoner spells. The green mage also selects a number of additional 1st-level enfeebling spells equal to her Intelligence modifier and a number of additional 1st-level enhancing spells equal to her Wisdom modifier to add to her list of spells. Each time a character attains a new scholar level, she gains two enfeebling and two enhancing spells of her choice to add to her list of spells. These free spells must be of spell levels she can cast. Like most mages, a green mage can find or purchase scrolls with spells to add to her repertoire.
To learn or cast an enfeebling spell, the green mage must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level (Int 11 for 1st-level spells, Int 12 for 2nd-level spells, and so forth). The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a green mage’s enfeebling spell is 10 + the spell level + her Intelligence modifier. In addition, a green mage gains additional MP for having a high attribute (Intelligence).
To learn or cast an enhancing spell, the green mage must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level (Wis 11 for 1st-level spells, Wis 12 for 2nd-level spells, and so forth). The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a green mage’s enhancing spell is 10 + the spell level + her Wisdom modifier. In addition, a green mage gains additional MP for having a high attribute (Wisdom).
All spells learned by the green mage uses her Intelligence modifier for enfeebling spells and Wisdom modifier for enhancing spells instead of the normal casting modifier used for all spells’ effects.
In addition, a green mage learn a number of cantrips, or 0-level green magic spells. These spells are cast like any other spell, but they do not consume MP and may be used again. Green mages begin with 3 0-level spells and gain an additional 0-level spell every three levels after 1st level.
This ability modifies spellcasting and cantrips.
Hammer Time (Su)
Beginning of 1st level, flails, hammers and maces become deadly weapons in the hands of a green mage. While under Enhancing Arts, the green mage gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with any weapon from the flail and hammer weapon groups plus an additional +1 for every four scholar levels after 1st.
