'''Black Magic''' {{J|くろまほう|Kuro Mahō}} , also called '''Black''', is an ability in ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' used by [[Rydia]], [[Tellah]], [[Palom]], [[Fusoya]], and [[Golbez]]. Black Magic is the counterpart to [[White Magic (Final Fantasy IV)|White Magic]], focusing on damaging the target. The Black Magic command's [[Charge Time]] varies, and its charge time is taken from the spell the player selects to cast. Fusoya and Golbez (only in to 3D versions) knows all the Black Magic spells, while [[Tellah]] eventually learns all these spells, except for [[#Quake|Quake]], [[#Death|Death]], and [[#Flare|Flare]] via a story event.

'''Black Magic''' is a skillset in ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]''. Counterpart to [[White Magic (Final Fantasy IV)|White Magic]], it focuses on harming opponents. The Black Magic command's [[Charge Time]] varies, and its charge time it taken from the spell the player selects to cast. [[Fusoya]] knows all Black Magic spells, and [[Tellah]] eventually learns all these spells, except for [[#Quake|Quake]], [[#Death)|Death]], and [[#Flare|Flare]] via a story event. Black Magic can also be used by [[Rydia]] and [[Palom]].

In the 3D versions, [[Dualcast#Final Fantasy IV|Dualcast]] is an [[Augment (Final Fantasy IV)|Augment]] ability that is compatible with all forms of magic.
−
Most spells are used via the Black Magic command but some spells can be used via the item command. Item Magic is cast by using certain weapons from the Item menu during [[Battle (Term)|battle]]. The weapon must be equipped and unlike magic used via the Black Magic command, Item Magic spells do not cost MP. All spells can be [[Reflect (Status)|reflected]], except for the [[#Dancing Dagger|Dancing Dagger]] spell. Item Magic spells target a single enemy. Item Magic's spell names are hidden as when the player uses an item, the name used will be that of the name of the item which overrides the spell name. Item Magic can be used even if the user is [[Silence (Status)|silenced]]. In the 3D remake versions Item Magic's power increases and decreases with the modification of the [[Spirit (Stat)|Spirit]] and [[Intelligence (Stat)|Intelligence]] stats.
  
   
  +
On the ''Easy Type'' version, the majority of the [[Charge Time|casting times]] for spells were reduced from their original casting time, making these spells faster to cast.
−
Some weapons have Black Magic spells as [[Added Ability|added abilities]] that randomly activate when using the [[Attack (Command)#Final Fantasy IV|Attack]] command with a party member with the weapon equipped.

===Item magic===
  +
In the 3D versions, Magic Arrow and Dancing Dagger were classified into Black Magic spells. Most spells are used via the Black Magic command, but some spells can be used via the [[Item]]s command. [[item magic]] is cast by using specific weapons from the Item menu during [[Battle (term)|battle]]. The weapon must be equipped and unlike magic used via the Black Magic command, item magic spells do not cost MP. All spells can be [[Reflect (status)|reflected]], except for the [[#Dancing Dagger|Dancing Dagger]] spell.
  +
  +
Item magic's spell names are hidden as when the player uses an item, the name used will be that of the name of the item which overrides the spell's name. Item magic can be used even if the user is [[Silence (status)|silenced]]. In the 3D versions, item magic's power increases and decreases with the modification of the [[Intelligence (stat)|Intelligence]] stat.

Ability Black Magic FFIVPSP

Casts black magic.

PSP description

Black Magic (くろまほう, Kuro Mahō?) , also called Black, is an ability in Final Fantasy IV used by Rydia, Tellah, Palom, Fusoya, and Golbez. Black Magic is the counterpart to White Magic, focusing on damaging the target. The Black Magic command's Charge Time varies, and its charge time is taken from the spell the player selects to cast. Fusoya and Golbez (only in to 3D versions) knows all the Black Magic spells, while Tellah eventually learns all these spells, except for Quake, Death, and Flare via a story event.

FF4PSP Black Magic Icon
FFIVDS Black Magic Icon

Abel's Lance and Flare Sledgehammer introduced in the Game Boy Advance version have the ability to randomly cast a specific Black Magic spells that randomly activate when using the Attack command when a party member is equipped with the specific weapon. Abel's Lance randomly cast Tornado while Flare Sledgehammer cast Flare. The Tornado spell from Abel's Lance works on any enemy, including bosses.

In the 3D versions, Dualcast is an Augment ability that is compatible with all forms of magic.

On the Easy Type version, the majority of the casting times for spells were reduced from their original casting time, making these spells faster to cast.

In the 3D versions, Magic Arrow and Dancing Dagger were classified into Black Magic spells. Most spells are used via the Black Magic command, but some spells can be used via the Items command. item magic is cast by using specific weapons from the Item menu during battle. The weapon must be equipped and unlike magic used via the Black Magic command, item magic spells do not cost MP. All spells can be reflected, except for the Dancing Dagger spell.

Item magic's spell names are hidden as when the player uses an item, the name used will be that of the name of the item which overrides the spell's name. Item magic can be used even if the user is silenced. In the 3D versions, item magic's power increases and decreases with the modification of the Intelligence stat.
