Introduction :
The Magician class is always one of the most popular class in the game due to its large variety of skills. They are equip with staff or wand to cast their magic. In MapleStory, Magician have three paths which is I/L Wiz, F/P Wiz or Cleric. However in this section, I will lay down the path of a Cleric towards becoming a Bishop.
Cleric is also the easiest class to fund at a low level especially for beginner who are new to MapleStory as Magician has the most medium damage with the least of funding due to Magic Claw. Once you become a Cleric , and maxed out MP Eater, most training should not use any potions at all. The Magician Class also holds the most amount of level 200's than any other class ^^>.

SP allocation for 4th job ( lvl 120 and above ) + Explanation :
- Lvl 1 Genesis should be good enough. After all, gene had cool down time and to have it as Lvl 1 is for showing off to others making a statement " I'm a bishop"
- Lvl 1 Resurrection and Lvl 1 Big Bang. All bishop needs resurrection and no excuse not to have it. On the other hand, Big bang will be bishop new attacking skill besides Genesis and Angel Ray.
- Max Buff Mastery to increase Magic Attack
- Max Resurrection ( reduce cool down time )
- Lvl 1 Angel Ray ( if available ) or Lvl 1 Holy Shield
- Lvl 9 Maple Warrior ( self explanation from the skill itself )
- Max Angel Ray or Max Bahamut
Upon following the skill build above, bishop will be close to Lvl 150. From here onwards, it is really up to the player to put their skill points. Some might max out or dump skill points into Big Bang, Maple Warrior, Infinity, Holy Shield, Mana Reflection or even Hero's Will ( remaining skills )
Note: There is no such thing as perfect build. Above is just recommendations from me ( Justin ) as I already had 2 Bishop ( lv 15x and lv 14x in Fornax ). Sometimes skill builds are dependent on the player ability to obtained such skills.
