Not hate, but love.
—Dissidia Final Fantasy, Black Mage Lore
The Black Mage (黒魔道師 or 黒魔道士, Kuromadōshi), also called Black Wizard, is a job class in the Final Fantasy series, and is featured in several installments.
Black Mages wear outfits similar to classic wizards, consisting of blue robes and pointy hats, usually yellow or brown. Their faces are not visible in the shade of their hats, except for their eyes which shine brightly. A Black Mage’s primary ability is to cast Black Magic, which usually consists of attack spells, but also contains some effect spells.
In later installments, Black Mages are given the Focus ability, which allows them to store power for the next turn. Their magic is their main focus and in this, Black Mages are one of the simplest but most effective jobs. Black Mages usually equip magical rods and staves, but also sometimes daggers. Their armor is limited to lightweight vests and mage robes. Black Mages, as with most mages, have high magical stats but low HP and defenses. The Magus job is a more powerful version of the Black Mage.
The Black Mage has become one of the most recognized symbols of the Final Fantasy series, similar to the name “Cid”, chocobos, and moogles.
