Black Mage

Black Mages are the magical opposites of White Mages. Their elemental and status-causing spells are great for exploiting elemental weaknesses or disabling an enemy. As with White Mages, the only reason you might change from a Black Mage to a Magus is the Magus' mastery of Level 8 Black Magic.

• Famicom version: pretty much identical.
