Each class has two specialties and a special ability. The first specialty is acquired basic when you unlock the class while the second is obtained by reaching level 12. This type of specialty offers bonuses that are often passive while the special ability, in addition to being active, allows (at times) to do damage to the enemy.

It depends on your style of play, eventually you can combine any other magic class. An interesting choice is still Oracle, since you can also combine interesting support spells.
