Subjective Analysis

Time Mages have some great spells that are worth getting, but they alone do not pose much of a threat to the enemy. They are weak and vulnerable, and they do not have any practical healing or attacking spells, just support spells. That aside, though, those support spells can be a fair bit of fun as a secondary ability if you want to dedicate your time to leveraging them.

The spells worth getting here are Haste, Slow, Immobilize, Stop, and, to a lesser extent, Quick. Meteor sounds nice but it's incredibly expensive JP and MP-wise, and it takes way too long to charge to be of much use. This mage also has some other abilities that are nice; Swiftness helps make use of some painfully slow abilities, and Critical: Quick can be a nice get-out-of-jail reaction to help get frontline units briefly out of trouble, though the triggering mechanism may of course fail or be too little, too late.
