Gameplay

A lot of people find Wavemasters to be the most useless and weakest class in the game, which is far from true. They are extremely useful, if not, total lifesavers, if you know how to use them properly.

Elk is, of course, a Wavemaster, which means his way of attacking is only magic. He equips only light armor and uses only staffs and wands as a weapon.
When you first run into a battle, Elk will not automatically start using spells. He will only do so if you use the "Skills" or "Magic" commands. Otherwise, he will only stand around in the back lines and wait for the battle to finish. Elk has better offensive magic than he does healing spells; he's quite quick when it comes to casting one, but isn't the fastest when it comes to healing your party.
Out of battle, when you're traveling in the field or a dungeon, Elk is a really slow runner, which keeps it hard to keep track of the kid when you're out and about.

The first time you can ever invite Elk into your party, he (and Mia) will only be on level 3 (you might be around levels 7-11).
