So, I recently read a similar thread which dealt with this, and other things, and then I 'grinded' (bad pun intended) the idea until I got something to suggest.
How about having the magic skills 'alter' your character in small ways... such as the magic influencing you.
Examples:
You get the bronze rank of all three Ice spells, and you'll have small snowflakes falling around your character... or
You get the bronze rank of all three Earth spells, and you'll have a small patch of grass growing behind you as you walk.
Small visual hints like that to show what kind of magi you are.
It'll give no effect other than visual, but it'd be neat to have.
Of course, that could also be expanded into a weak ranged attack...
You get the silver rank of all three Ice spells, which makes your strikes with a rod (or other MATK weapon) shoot an icicle... or
You get the silver rank of all three Fire spells, which makes your strikes with a rod (or other MATK weapon) give off an ember.
It'll only deal 1/10 (silver) or 1/5 (gold) of the MATK of the weapon, and only travel as far as an uncharged Piercing Dash, at half the speed of an arrow (and deal elemental damage, for purposes of resistances and weaknesses).
And of course, only one can be on screen at the same time, so no maxing attack-speed just to spam out a ranged attack.
Getting silver rank in all three skills of an element, requires you to dedicate 15 levels to that element, so I think it'd give some sort of bonus aside from just a visual upgrade (though that'd be nice too), and it'd make it worthwhile to dedicate to one element instead of mixing and matching.
What are your thoughts on this?
Do you like the visual changes, or the ranged attack, or even both?
Do you hate it all?
Discuss.
