Changes: Black Mage (Final Fantasy V)

Revision as of 14:16, 11 January 2020

Template:Sideicon

Wizards whose powerful black magic strikes fear into enemies.
Description

The Black Mage is a job in Final Fantasy V obtained after the Wind Crystal shatters. It is the first fully offensive spellcasting job in the game (barring Blue Mage as they start with nothing), and is the first job to utilize elements in their attacks.

The Black Mage has the second-highest Magic Power, being beaten out by the Summoner in the original version, as well as the Oracle in the Advance, mobile and Steam remakes. As they can equip rods, the Black Mage is further capable of increasing their damage output of specific elements by 50%.

Mastering Black Mage for all four characters in the mobile and Steam versions earns the player the achievement "Master of Black Magic".

Profile

The party dons the iconic blue robes and pointy hat, which conceals their faces. Galuf keeps his beard, and Bartz resembles the Black Wizard from the original Final Fantasy. Krile most closely resembles the Black Mage design from the original Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy III. Bartz, Faris and Lenna wear a crescent moon symbol on their hat, while Krile has a star.

Abilities

Black Magic allows access to the three basic elements (Fire, Ice, and Lightning), the Poison element, as well as a powerful non-elemental spell obtained late in the game. Black Magic allows access to some status ailment-inducing spells, as well as a HP and MP draining spell.

Black Magic abilities give characters the Black Mage's base Magic based on the following formula:

Magic = Black Mage Base Magic - 3 * (6 - Black Mage Job Level)

The value of the base Magic granted in this way is capped at the Black Mage's base.

Thus the base Magic stat for a character with Black Magic equipped would be as follows:

Level 1 = 40 base Magic
Level 2 = 43 base Magic
Level 3 = 46 base Magic
Level 4 = 49 base Magic
Level 5 = 52 base Magic
Level 6 = 55 base Magic
Level 7 = 55 base Magic

Upon mastery, Freelancers and Mimes gain the Black Mage's base Magic unless they already have a higher base from another mastered job.

Trivia

The Black Mage attire is an indication Faris is female before the party even finds out, as she wears her robes the same way Lenna does. This also applies to the White Mage job.
