To 'master' an ability, you must equip the item the ability is embedded in and gain enough AP (Ability Points) to learn it. However, you can permanently learn abilities by mastering them. As soon as you unequip those items, the unit will no longer be able to use those abilities. Abilities are embedded in equipment once you equip items (weapons, armor, etc.) on a unit you will be able to use the abilities associated with that equipment.

New jobs are learned by mastering abilities, not by job levels.ДЄbility System The ability system is almost exactly like Final Fantasy IX's.

FFT-A's differs from FFT's system like so: Job System FFT-A uses the job system which was born from Final Fantasy III, built upon in Final Fantasy V, and almost perfected in Final Fantasy Tactics. Also there is no Bahamut summon, a break of a tradition set since Final Fantasy III.ДЇFT-A is filled with many systems some are old, some are revised, and some are brand spanking new. Unlike the original FFT, there is no 'casting' time for spells and abilities, not even for Jump (which is highly unorthodox by Final Fantasy standards).
