The Balance Gauge displays the current amount of black mana and white mana a red mage has accumulated. Black mana is accumulated by casting spells commonly associated with black magic (such as [[Verthunder]]), and white mana by casting spells associated with white magic (such as [[Veraero]]).

This accumulated mana can then be spent on the Red Mage's [[weaponskill]]s ([[Riposte]], [[Zwerchhau]], [[Redoublement]], and [[Moulinet]]) - if a sufficient amount (dependent on the skill) has been accumulated, the skill will convert to an 'enchanted' version that deals greater damage than the conventional version. However, if the gap between black and white mana accumulation grows too large (approx. 35-45 points), then the crystal at the top of the gauge will change color to match the 'dominant' mana type and accumulation of the non-matching type will be roughly half normal; e.g. if Black mana is dominant, casting [[Veraero]] would only grant 5 White mana.

Balance Gauge is Red Mage's Job Gauge.

Balance Gauge

Red Mages are unique in that they have a Balance Gauge that shows their accumulated White Mana and Black Mana.

You can obtain the two types of mana by using certain spells. Once enough of each has been acquired, Riposte.png  Riposte will become Enchanted Riposte.png  Enchanted Riposte, Zwerchhau.png  Zwerchhau will become Enchanted Zwerchhau.png  Enchanted Zwerchhau, and Redoublement.png  Redoublement will become Enchanted Redoublement.png  Enchanted Redoublement.

Certain actions and effects will also be strengthened.

If the gap between black and white mana accumulation grows too large, the crystal at the top of the gauge will change color, and it will become more difficult to accumulate the lesser of the two.

Maximum stacks of mana can be accumulated using Enchanted Riposte.png  Enchanted Riposte, Enchanted Zwerchhau.png  Enchanted Zwerchhau, Enchanted Redoublement.png  Enchanted Redoublement, and Enchanted Moulinet.png  Enchanted Moulinet, then used to execute certain actions such as Verflare.png  Verflare and Verholy.png  Verholy (acquired at level 70).
