The Dark Knight (まけんし Makenshi lit. "Magic Fencer") is a Job class obtained from the Water Crystal in Final Fantasy III. This version of the class is distinct from the Magic Knight familiar in the Famicom game. They are trained to harness the negative energies that flow throughout the world. The dark blades they wield are very effective against monsters that divide and multiply. It should be noted that the Dark Knight has a key difference from its 8-bit counterpart; Magic Knights of the original game were able to cast some White Magic, similar to Paladins.

Abilities

The Dark Knight sacrifices its own HP to attack all enemies. This is useful for defeating enemies who multiply.
