Blue Mage Question

[Viladin]

Another question regarding them, posted here to avoid cluttering up the board-

Can they only learn a Blue Mage spell from the creature listed in the spell list?


That is, if they see a non-Wind Flan creature use Aero, can they learn it from that creature? Or can they only learn Aero from Wind Flans/a Blue Mage who learned from a Wind Flan?


If the former is so, may I suggest specifying spells can only be learned from creatures that they're inherent to- that is, not learned abilities like spells are for other Mages?


In the case of the latter...


Wow, Blue Mages are shafted. :p

Because Blue Mages are a creature caster, they must learn from creatures. A Blue Mage can be taught their spells by another Blue Mage, as well as taking the Azure Knowledge feat to gain new spells as well.

It may seem that Blue Mages get shafted on spells, but the class is very DM-dependent. Requiring the DM to be merciful to allow the Blue Mage to gain new spells.
