Black Mage (Final Fantasy V)

The Black Mage is a job in Final Fantasy V, which is given to you after the Wind Crystal shatters.

As black mages, your party will don the famous blue robes and pointy hat, and conceal their faces. However, Galuf keeps his beard, and Butz resembles the Black Wizard from Final Fantasy III more than the black mage.
