"Four great elements, heed my call!"

"I'm gonna put you in a cast, and I don't mean the broken bone kind! Get it?"

"Time to teach you a thing or two about black magic."

The Black Mage (黒魔道士, Kuro Madōshi^?) is a dressphere in Final Fantasy X-2. It is obtained in a cutscene after the party's first mission to the Floating Ruins on Mt. Gagazet. Their spell list is relatively simple, having only the basic elemental spells. They also have access to MP Absorb, Focus, and other abilities that allow them to cast Black Magic faster. Black Mage has low Strength and Defense but high Magic Defense and Magic.

It is also one of the few dresspheres in the game that cannot physically attack the enemy unless afflicted with Berserk or if using the Mug command, whereupon the Black mage will swing her staff at the enemy damaging them with magical energy (note however she does not actually hit her enemy with weapon).

AppearanceEdit

The Black Mage dons a regular Black Mage hat and robes, each with a feminine twist. Yuna, Rikku, and Paine all wield rods Yuna used in Final Fantasy X, with Yuna wielding the Nirvana, Rikku wielding the El Dorado, and Paine wielding an Enchanted Rod.

CommandsEdit

AbilitiesEdit

Mastering Black Mage requires 680 Ability Points. Black Magic abilities can be accessed outside of the Black Mage dressphere by equipping the Black Lore accessory or the Black Tabard Garment Grid. Paine has access to her Black Magic abilities through the Mascot dressphere. Other accessories allow the user to cast a corresponding spell (i.e. Equipping the Red Ring allows the user to cast Fire).It is also notable that, while the spells Flare and Ultima are Black Magic spells, they must be acquired through Garment Grids.

TriviaEdit

The Black Mage dressphere seems to be drawn from the memories of a man from Zanarkand 1000 years ago much like the Songstress is drawn from Lenne's. Judging from his voice and references made in Zanarkand during Chapter 5, the person in the sphere may in fact be Maechen, implying he has a talent for Black Magic.
