Red Mage (Final Fantasy III)

The Red Mage is a job class in Final Fantasy III, both the NES original, and the Nintendo DS remake. It is gained from the Wind Crystal.

NES version

 * Special Ability - White Magic and Black Magic Levels 1-4

Just like the original Final Fantasy, the Red Mage can use lower level White and Black Magic. However, this ability is only really useful early in the game, since later on you get more versatile mage classes. They have weak stat progression in every stat as well. Without the ability to double cast like in Final Fantasy V, Red Mages are usually thought to be weak.

DS Version

 * Special Ability - White Magic and Black Magic Levels 1-5
