Black Magicks (Final Fantasy XII)



Black Magicks is a skillset in Final Fantasy XII. All party members can to learn Black Magicks by buying the appropriate license and by the player buying the spell from a magick shop or traveling merchant.

In the Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System version, certain abilities were re-classified, and some abilities that belonged to the Green Magicks skillset in the original Final Fantasy XII, were re-classified as Black Magicks spells. Only certain jobs can wield Black Magick. The Black Mage learns all of the Black Magicks, while the Uhlan and Red Mage can learn a few. In this version, certain spells can be obtained from treasures.

Mechanics
Damage calculation:
 * $$DMG = [Power \times RANDOM(1\sim 1.125) - Magick Resist] \times [2 + Magick Power \times (Lv+Magick Power)/256)]$$

The damage is boosted if the caster is affected by Faith (increased by 130% of original damage), wears equipment with elemental affinity, the current weather or terrain boosts the effectiveness of the used element, what augments have been purchased on the License Board, and whether the enemy is weak against the used element.

List of Black Magicks
MP cost is defined as default MP cost. Channeling Augments lower MP cost of any spell.

In the International Zodiac Job System version, Black Magick has been added with status effect spells from the Green Magicks category. Also, Ardor is now an Arcane Magick spell. Fran, regardless of her job, has access to Fire and Thunder.

Other jobs have limited access:
 * Uhlan can access Level 5 and 6 with a Quickening License and Level 7 and 8 with the Esper Chaos License.
 * Red Mages can learn Level 3 to 6 spells and access Level 9 and 10 through the Esper Cúchulainn License.

The success rate of negative status spells are unaffected by the target's magick evasion.
 * $$Success Rate = Base Rate + (MAG of user - VIT of target) \%$$

If the target has Shell, the success rate is halved.
