Red Mage (Final Fantasy)

The Red Mage is a character class from the original Final Fantasy which can be selected as a member of the Light Warriors before the game begins. True to his / her name, the Red Mage is clothed almost entirely in red. This class can use both Black and White Magic, as well as wield many different weapons and pieces of armor. However, being unable to wield or use the highest level magic or equipment, the Red Mage is generally relegated to a support position. After an event in the game in which the party must retrieve a Rat Tail from the Citadel of Trials and return it to Bahamut, the Red Mage is upgraded to the Red Wizard. This upgraded class can wield more equipment and learn more magic, and also receives a new physical appearance, which is quite similar to the old sprite.
