An intelligent fighter learned in the magical arts.

Job Origin Backgound
As advancement in the study of magic progressed, hundreds of ruins were discovered around the world, dating back to time periods that historians had never even considered. Of the several artifacts found within these ruins, the most informative were books and records made by the ancient civilizations. Volumes of information were uncovered - including long-forgotten methods of casting magic using incantations found in ancient tomes. Few, however, have the knowledge required to translate the ancient tongues in these books, but those that do are a force to be reckoned with.

Notes
Scholars can only cast spells of the levels they have learned. All spells take 0 MP except when used with Index, which randomly selects spells three times and then casts them (The spells are randomly chosen before the unit selects where to cast each individual one). Each book has a set of spells - they can have multiple spells on a single level to make up for the lack of higher levels. Each book also can have a Reaction spell that can be used as a "Counter" of sorts.
The heavy restrictions on books and skill setups for Scholars soften the game-breaking power of such a class - it requires a mastery, support, and a book equipped to get any serious use out of Scholars when they aren't your main or sub job.
Scholar as a Main Job
Scholars are okay as a main job - their magical power and magical resistance growth are both good, although on the physical side they are severely weakened. Used in conjunction with another magic-oriented class such as Wizard or Elementalist, the Scholar can become a mage who can cast his main spells for free, but is open to other options if they arise. Note that the only downfall to Scholars is that they have horrid MP growth, as they do not need it.
Scholar as a Sub Job
Scholars are an amazing sub job for magic users, but horrible for melee users. Magical users can use books for backup spells when they are low on MP, and gain great benefits from the increased Magic Power and Resistance stat bonuses. Melee characters, if they take the time to climb up the magic tree to even reach scholars, will find no use in Scholars, because they require books to be equipped, disallowing the use of swords and other such weapons that melee characters require. This isn't worth it anyway, as the requirements for the Scholar class will mold a unit into a more magic-oriented role anyway.
