- "Geomancers harness the power of nature itself, manifested in their different terrain attacks. Their damage potential rises exponentially by job level."
- —In-game description
The Geomancer (風水士, Fuusuishi?) is a Job class in Final Fantasy III. It is gained from the Water Crystal in the NES version, while it is gained from the Fire Crystal in the DS and iOS versions. Geomancers are able to attack by tuning in to their natural surroundings and drawing out the latent powers around them. Essentially, a Geomancer is like a Mage who can unleash powerful "magic" attacks with no MP cost. The attack power increases with the Job level.

- Special Ability - Terrain (NES version)
The Terrain ability has various effects depending on the current environment and costs no MP. However, if all targets are missed during hit calculation the Backfire effect is triggered damaging the caster. Note that Terrain spells that target a single enemy do so by selecting at random from the available enemies.
| Name | Terrain | Power | Hit Rate | Element | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Air Blade | Forest, Dungeon | 120 | 30% | Wind | Damage to one enemy. |
| Tornado | Sky | 120 | 60% | Wind | Damage to one enemy. |

- Special Ability - Terrain (DS & iOS versions)
