Dawn of Souls instructions

Template:See Also The Black Mage (くろまじゅつし, Kuromajutsushi?) is the offensive magic caster of the Light Warriors in the original Final Fantasy. The Black Mage has the lowest HP out of any character class, but they can inflict negative status effects and cause great damage with their Black Magic. They are dressed in a blue cloak with only eyes glowing in the dark of their face. In subsequent remakes, they have only changed in stance, making them the least changed character, other than White Mage.

Map sprite (NES). Map sprite (PS). Map sprite (PSP).

After completing the Citadel of Trials, Bahamut, the Dragon King, upgrades the Black Mage to the rank of Black Wizard (くろまどうし, Kuromadoushi?). This enables him/her to cast higher level spells and equip better weapons and armor. While the NES version of the Black Wizard depicts him/her with his/her hood down, all versions after the WonderSwan Color port change his/her outfit but retain the hat, obscuring his/her face. The 20th Anniversary Edition depicts the Black Wizard in a costume identical to the Magus from the original version of Final Fantasy III.
