Firaja, a Black Magick spell.

Black mage job command. Enables the use of attack magicks in battle.

Black Magick (黒魔法, Kuro Mahō?), also known as Black Magic in the PlayStation version, is elementally-aligned offensive magick in Final Fantasy Tactics and the action ability of the Black Mage. In the PlayStation version Black Mage has a chance of chanting when casting a spell, but in the War of the Lions remake these were removed.

After being learned in the Black Magick skillset, the spells can also be used in the Arithmetician's Arithmeticks command.

Etymology[]

Black magic has traditionally referred to the use of supernatural powers or magic for evil and selfish purposes. With respect to the philosophy of left-hand path and right-hand path, black magic is the malicious counterpart of benevolent white magic.

Magick is an Early Modern English spelling for magic. Magick, in the context of Aleister Crowley's Thelema, is a term used to differentiate the occult from stage magic and is defined as "the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will", including both "mundane" acts of will as well as ritual magic.
