White Magic lvl. 1-4	The Fighter gains access to levels 1-4 White Magic.	Upon learning this ability, the Fighter gains as many spell points to buy spells as a White Mage of the same level would.
Defend	The Fighter gains the ability to protect one or all members of a party from both physical and magical damage by junctioning a part of their soul to those they want to protect. Any damage the person thus protected will instead be taken by the Paladin.	Defense can be assigned/reassigned in-between rounds. The Paladins defense ratings are used instead of the one's being protected.
Saint Cross	The Fighter is able to produce a massive explosion of holy energies amongst a group of foes. Damage is 3d10 + Willpower X MDC. This attack hits all foes in a 10 foot long, 5 foot wide arc.	Holy Elemental
Divine Arsenal	The Fighter is able to use this power in two ways. The first allows him to produce an arrow-like bolt of holy energy that he can then direct to hit an enemy very far away. This bolt does 1d10 + Wisdom X MDC Holy damage, has the range of a bow, and costs 1 MP to use. The other ability allows the Fighter to make his weapon a Holy-Elemental weapon for the duration of the battle. This also costs 1 MP to perform.	The Holy Enchantment can be performed in-between rounds.
Angel	The Fighter has become so in touch with his light side that he has more or less ascended past being something more than human. He has become an earth-bound angel. When activated in battle, a white light continually shines around the Fighter. A halo and wings appear as well. Angelic form grants the following benefits: Immunity to the fear, charm, and confusion status effects, immunity to Dark and Holy elemental attacks, and bestowing the float and regen status effects. In certain instances, this special "floating" can be used to actually fly. This "transformation" takes one turn to complete and always loses initiative when activating.	All other Paladin abilities must be learned first.

When activated, the Dark knight is surrounded by a shadowy flame and his eyes grow a crimson red. It also appears as if several lost souls float about him as well. In combat, this "Demon" becomes extremely savage and blood-thirsty (but it doesn't mean he's evil. He can maintain enough sanity to not hurt his friends or any other innocents). Demonic form grants the following benefits: Immunity to the fear, blind, and mute status effects, immunity to Dark and Fire elemental attacks, Darkside only causing 10% of backlash damage, and Black Wave doing 5d10 damage instead of 3d10.
