Black Mage
"I hope you like it hot."
With a distinct pointed cap and a face shrouded deep inside the darkness of their cowl, the Black Mage is a master of magic turned to the aim of destruction. Even if their outfits seem doddering and silly, and whether they're loudmouthed, stoic or shy, the fires, blizzards and thunderstorms they call inspire awe in those around them.
The iconic Black Mage job exists to do magical damage, and an awful lot of it. They earn spells in four elements to circumvent enemy resistances, and if they manage to hit a weakness their already solid damage output becomes enormous. A small selection of status spells allow them to add variety to the battle. As their mastery grows, they learn the terrifying sealed magic of Flare.
