Third tier
Arch Bishop
Arch Bishop is the alternative advancement option for Priests. While the Priest divided its skills between supportive Grace Skills and offensive Authority skills, the Arch Bishop instead divides its skills into three general branches, each of which offering a Grace Skill, an Authority Skill, and an unaligned skill to tie them together.
The first branch of skills are offensive in nature. Oratio puts a holy curse on enemies, causing them to take additional damage whenever struck by Holy damage. Arbitrium deals direct Holy Property Magic damage to a single target and also inflicts the Searing Light status. Finally, Adoramus deals Holy Property Magic Damage in a wide area around the target, with additional effects based on whether the user is in Grace or Authority status.
The second branch of skills are the supportive ones. Grace Heal instantly recovers HP for a targeted ally, both restoring HP and providing a barrier to prevent further damage. Argutus Vita meanwhile is an Authority skill that increases the Atk and Matk of all party members. These are accompanied by Lux Pacifica, consuming the user's Grace or Authority status to grant all allies a protective blessing that heals them whenever they take damage (Grace) or deal damage (Authority).
The final branch brings Physical Skills. With a Grace Skill to increase the user's Atk and Vulnerable Potency, an Authority Skill to deal direct damage, and an unaligned skill to leverage both Grace and Authority Statuses to deal huge burst damage, the Arch Bishop finally has what it needs to draw the Battle Priest out of the wings and into the fight.
Lastly, the Arch Bishop's skill tree is crowned by one last ultimate skill, Manus Dei. This skill calls for divine intervention, bestowing a miracle upon their party to turn the tides of battle at the worst possible moment. This skill requires Base Level 130 to unlock, but otherwise has no requirements and only takes a single skill point, thus turning any suitably leveled Arch Bishop into an incredible asset for any party.

- Manus Dei
The user makes a desperate plea for divine intervention, and is granted a miracle to turn the tides of battle. Any dead party members in the area are immediately resurrected, then all party members are healed to full HP and SP and gain the Aspersio and Assumptio statuses for an extended duration. If the user is under the Grace Status, the user takes half damage from all attacks while this skill is casting. If the user is under the Authority Status, all enemies in the area of effect are Slowed and Blinded. A player may only be affected by this skill once every five minutes, even from a different caster.
