does light arts apply to Magic Fruit/Carrot/White Wind

does dark arts apply to Charged Whisker/Thermal Pulse

etc...

if not, are there any benefits of a /sch subjob other then Sublimation?

Seriously?

Light Arts effects white magic and Dark Arts effects black magic.... What colour magic does blue mage use?

I know this...lol
Blue?

I only ask because i read light arts boost cure potency of Magic Fruit/Carrot
as well *** Light Staff...

So i figured if a = b, and b = c, then a = c?

Yes, it does. And dark arts affects dark based drain/aspir spells.
But only spells that get boost from healing or dark magic get an arts boost.

And we have a RQT for next time.

Fruit/Carrot/Plenilune, yes. These spells are literally just clones of certain cure spells and still use healing magic skill for their power calculations. They will not be affected by the coming update, however. White Wind no.

Are you sure? Thought I saw it affecting things like MP Drainkiss.

I thought I removed that from wiki years ago, maybe it got readded. I did some reasonably thorough testing that established that dark magic skill has no effect on MP Drainkiss, post is on oldwiki forums somewhere.

I just used Magic Fruit under Light Arts outside of my Mog House, and it displayed no MP reduction or Fast Cast. I tried it under Celerity and Penury as well with no positive results, unless you were just referring to the healing magic skill bonus.

They get bonuses from healing magic skill.

I didn't think it would be significant enough to be of any worth.

BLU/SCH in Campaign was pretty fun at 75. Not as useful now that you can just tear through everything but it's handy if you find yourself soloing a boss.

Little over a 10% improvement going from 0 to full potency Light Arts iirc. Furen's cure calculator has Magic Fruit programmed in, see for yourself.

/SCH is the ideal sub when you're fighting something you can aspir for decent amounts. Rotating MP Drainkiss + celerity aspir provides you with near-infinite MP.
