Mostly just a general question, because I haven't gotten myself a calculator yet, but I'm working towards it. I wanted to know if you can calculate summons too, or if it is simply applicable to white, black and oracle spells?

No summons and certain black and time can't be used either; actually I think you basically can't calculate any spells with an area effect that goes beyond the standard "plus" formation.
For example, you can calculate Fire3, because it only has a range of one square, but you can't calculate meteor, because it covers and area several squares in length. Hence, no summons, because all summons effect a wide area. -------------------- And behold, I saw a Pale Gaming System, and the name of he who rode it was Squaresoft, and Enix followed him. |

I shudder at the thought of how imbalanced the game would further get if you could calculate summons.

only white, black, time, and yin-yang spells can be used, and further, the following spells are excluded:
white: cure4, protect/shell2 black: fire/bolt/ice4 time: haste/slow2, quick, meteor yin-yang: drain hp, drain mp (whatever they're called) |

Even without the ability to use summons and level 4 black magic, Calculator is still an awesome job if you take the time to build them up which could take a while.

Calculators can`t cast some magic and summon magic, but they don`t consume Mp on the magic used and has no time charge on any magic, the bad thing is you got to continously look at enemies status, and some numbers can`t be calculated like 49, for example...,a good tip: put the calculator in auto-battle.

The best math skillers in the game are female wizards or Reis. Highest magic power in the game, 'nuff said.
