The Black Mage takes a moment to gather his focus before his next spell while luring the enemy into a false sense of security. When Bluff is used, the Black Mage enters a stance which last until the end of his next turn. If the next action performed by the Black Mage is a spell, apply a situational modifier to the damage dealt. If the Spell is Single Target apply +100%, if Group (Row) target apply +75%, and if Group Target apply +50%. Bluff has no effect on Shades of Black.

Shades of Black

AP: 130
Type: Action
Technique, Elemental: (As Roll), Status: (As Roll)
Target: Single
70D F30

The Black Mage casts a random spell at no MP cost upon the target. The target must be declared before rolling for the result - and upon using Shades of Black, roll a d10. The roll corresponds with its own effect - the element options dealing (12 x MAG + d12) magical damage of the element rolled, while the statuses are inflicted with a (6) timer. If the result inflicted a status rather than damage, reduce the Black Mage's delay from Shades of Black by 10.

Magic Counter

AP: 150
Type: Reaction
Magic
Target: Triggering Enemy Only
Trigger: The Black Mage is hit by a spell which deals damage and/or inflicts a negative status or effect.

The Black Mage uses keen insight and is capable of hurling the spell he was just hit with back at his foe. When Magic Counter is triggered, the Black Mage casts the same spell that struck them at the original caster, paying all MP costs. The CoS of the spell is slightly reduced, as below. Use the same damage code snd MP price as the original spell, but use the Black Mage's properties and attributes. (For example, if a level 31 monster cast Fire on a level 28 Black Mage, inflicting 25xMAG+d10 damage and costing 23 MP, the Black Mage would Magic Counter with a Fire that dealt 25xMAG+d8 damage and cost 21 MP, while if the Black Mage simply had Fire equipped and cast it, it would only inflict 20xMAG+d10 damage and cost 21 MP)
