So I just wanted to touch on some of the skillsets of the characters. Julian is big on Impediments (status spells/attacks), Trey is big on elemental attacks/magic, and Sarah has buffs and martial arts.

Justine, the fourth character, is an archer. I was thinking about giving her a variety of arrows to use, ranging from strong physical arrows to elemental and status arrows. However, that makes her a sort of jack-of-all-trades that may negate the power and utility of some of the other characters.

Her magic subset is Reficia, or heal spells.

My other idea was to keep her an archer but put her in a sort of blue mage role...perhaps a telepathic "silver arrow" that lets her channel the abilities of an enemy or something. If so, what kind of ways of learning blue magic would you guys like to see? The game will have lots of loot to steal from enemies...so item-based blue magic is an option.
