 | Cid: Oh, shut up and help me remodel the Black Mage (Final Fantasy III) page! | Please expand this article into a full one. This can be done by making a 2D and 3D weapon/armor table like here. Equipment stats do not belong here since the weapons/armor should link to their respectable list of Final Fantasy III weapon/armor page.. This request can be discussed on the associated discussion page. |
Black Mages are casters who specialize in offensive magic. Despite their appearance, they can take a few hits, too.
