Balance Gauge is Red Mage's Job Gauge.

Balance Gauge

Red Mages are unique in that they have a Balance Gauge that shows their accumulated White Mana and Black Mana.

You can obtain the two types of mana by using certain spells. Once enough of each has been acquired, Riposte.png  Riposte will become Enchanted Riposte.png  Enchanted Riposte, Zwerchhau.png  Zwerchhau will become Enchanted Zwerchhau.png  Enchanted Zwerchhau, and Redoublement.png  Redoublement will become Enchanted Redoublement.png  Enchanted Redoublement.

Certain actions and effects will also be strengthened.

If the gap between black and white mana accumulation grows too large, the crystal at the top of the gauge will change color, and it will become more difficult to accumulate the lesser of the two.

Upon learning the trait Mana Stack.png  Mana Stack, the Mana Stack Gauge will be displayed.

Maximum stacks of mana can be accumulated using Enchanted Riposte.png  Enchanted Riposte, Enchanted Zwerchhau.png  Enchanted Zwerchhau, Enchanted Redoublement.png  Enchanted Redoublement, and Enchanted Moulinet.png  Enchanted Moulinet, then used to execute certain actions such as Verflare.png  Verflare and Verholy.png  Verholy (acquired at level 70).

Mana stacks are consumed when any magic is used.
