Black Mage (Final Fantasy)

The Black Mage is the offensive magic caster of the Light Warriors. While the Black Mage has weak combat skills and the lowest HP out of any character class, he is capable of inflicting negative status effects and causing great damage to the enemy with his Black Magic.

Black Wizard
After completing the Citadel of Trials, Bahamut the Dragon King upgrades him to the rank of Black Wizard. This enables him to cast higher level spells and equip better weapons and armor. While the NES version of the Black Wizard depicts him with his hood down, all versions after the WonderSwan Color port only recolor Black Mage's clothes after the class change.
