Although Jin was not forcing anyone into the stereotypical jobs, he also was not going to stop anyone from playing as such. If anyone wanted to equip a shield and sword and wear heavy armour, so be it. However, magic related jobs would be a tough choice at the start of the virtual reality instance.
Compared to the Stamina Bar which the adventurers would have at the start of the Virtual Reality Instance, the Mana Bar would have to be unlocked and then trained from scratch.
That was where the Tricky Shop Of Magic would come into play. They specifically sold an essential item that would trigger the magical essence of the adventurers. Jin had dubbed it as the 'Magic Unlocker' and it was a key that would unlock their doorway to the Universal Pool of Magic.
