Recurring appearance

The Magus is a job in Final Fantasy Dimensions obtained during the finale of the Tome of Twilight chapter, and is exclusive to the Warriors of Darkness.

Appearance

In the original Japanese-exclusive cellphone version, all party members dress in either blue or black robes and wear pointy hats with a yellow crescent moon, hiding their faces and showing only yellow eyes. The sprites of the cellphone version are heavily inspired by the Magus sprites from the original NES version of Final Fantasy III.

In the remastered versions for iOS and Android, these designs are abandoned, with the characters wearing blue cloaks with crescent moons on the collar, and simply hiding their faces and showing their yellow eyes. The only difference between the male and female characters is the length of their cloaks and the lack of gloves on male characters.

Overview

The Magus is an enhanced version of the Black Mage. While the Black Mage has some minor boosts to its physical stats, the Magus focuses almost exclusively on Intelligence and MP, thus maximizing its damage potential. In addition to the entire library of Black Magic, Magus can also cast magic spells that infuse allies' attacks with the power of the elements; an important tool for maximizing the power of the high-tier Fusion Abilities, namely Phantom Rush. Magus provides a scarce number of Fusion Abilities, though the two it does provide are Dark Star and Gigaflare, and both cause more damage than Ultima. The one downside to Magus is its lack of passive abilities like Magic Font, making levels in Black Mage desirable before transitioning into a Magus.

Statistics

Magus is the job with the highest intellect.

The guest character The Mask, unlike most of the other guests, does not have the same stats as the Magus job, instead he has his own table of stats during chapter 3, and another one during chapter 4.

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]Magus is the Latin word for "wizard". Its plural is Magi.

The job's Japanese name of (魔人, Majin?) derives from the Witch/Demon (魔, Ma?) and Person (人, Jin?) kanjis. While Majin (魔人) has no direct single word English translation, the most common interpretations are that of magician, sorcerer, or conjurer.

While spelled the same in hiragana, (まじん, Majin?), the job's Japanese name is not the same word of Majin (魔神, Majin?) commonly used for Demons Gods, which derives from the Witch/Demon (魔, Ma?) and God (神, Jin?) kanjis.
