{{Quote|In the hands of a skilled practitioner, thaumaturgy can be a force of terrifying destruction. At the heart of this school of magic lies the ability to call forth and command the latent aether within oneself through deep introspection.<br>To then mold that aether into sorcery, the thaumaturge makes use of a scepter or staff, within which is housed a medium—a natural stone imbued with magical properties. Thus armed, the thaumaturge is capable of wreaking considerable havoc via ruinous spells and curses.|Game Description}}

[[file:Thaumaturge art.jpg|300px|right|Thaumaturge Concept Art]]
Thaumaturge is a [[Disciples of Magic|Disciple of Magic]] [[classes|class]] that specializes in the destructive magic of [[Fire]], [[Blizzard]] and [[Thunder]]. As the wielders of [[staves]] and [[scepters]], Thaumaturge are especially powerful when dealing damage to multiple enemies at the same time. The [[Guilds|Thaumaturge's Guild]] is in the desert city of [[Ul'dah]]. If you choose thaumaturge as your first class, you will start off in the city of Ul'dah. At level 30, the thaumaturge can acquire the [[jobs|job]] [[Black Mage]] if he or she also has the [[archer]] class at level 15.

==Play Style==
Armed with scepters and staves, thaumaturges can wreak havoc with their spells and curses. Thaumaturge is a ranged damage dealing class with powerful AoE spells and strong crowd control abilities. The most important [[attributes|stat]] for the thaumaturge is [[intelligence]], which increases [[Attack Magic Potency|attack magic potency]].

===Mechanics===
When thaumaturge casts a [[Fire]] spell, he acquires the [[Astral Fire]] buff. The buff increases the damage and [[MP]] cost of his fire spells and reduces damage and MP cost of his ice spells. His MP regen also stops. When thaumaturge casts a [[Blizzard]] spell, he acquires the [[Umbral Ice]] buff. The buff reduces the MP cost and damage of fire spells and increases his MP regen. If the thaumaturge casts an ice spell while he has the Astral Fire buff, the buff will be removed. If the thaumaturge casts a fire spell while he has an Umbral Ice buff on, the buff will be removed. 

For tons of damage, players should spam Fire spells till his or her MP is low. Then use [[Transpose]] to swap Astral Fire for Umbral Ice for massive MP regen. When the player's MP is full, use Transpose again to swap Umbral Ice for Astral Fire to resume the flaming bombardment.

If you're a former player of World of Warcraft, think of the Balance talent spec for Druids. The mechanics are very similar.
