Black Mage (Final Fantasy XI)

Black Mage appears as one of the six basic jobs that are available to characters at the beginning of Final Fantasy XI. A Black Mage has a wide variety of spells that allow him to do high damage to an enemy as well as a somewhat more limited ability to weaken them through enfeebling magic. Also, because it is desirable to end a Skillchain with a Magic burst, Black mages are one of the more popular classes to bring in groups as well as to Burning circle battles.

Although any race can be any class, because of their high MP count and their naturally high intelligence, Tarutaru make ideal Black Mages. Among Tarutaru, about 1 in 4 players will have their main job as Black Mage, and about the same is true for White Mage with Male Taru slightly more likely to be Black Mages and Female Taru more likely to be White
