Template:Sideicon The Magus is a job in Final Fantasy Dimensions. It is obtained during the finale of the Tome of Twilight chapter. The job is exclusive to the Warriors of Darkness and functions as an enhanced version of the Black Mage job. The Magus has access to level 8 Black Magic by default and allow characters to use the final tier outside of the assigned job. The job also exclusively learns the Flare and Ultima spells upon leveling up.
In addition, they also have access to the Clarity ability, which restores MP roughly equal to 80~85% of the caster's Mind stat to all party members, however it has a chance of failure.
The job also has the ability to learn the Boost Element ability set, allowing the Magus to use En-Spell abilities, causing the physical attacks of both the player and enemy party to align to a specific element, which makes the job useful against enemies with elemental weakness.
Despite the job being an updated form of the Black Mage, the Magus lacks the magic boost passive of its predecessor has access to, making leveling the former job needed if a player wishes to take full advantage of the job to a certain degree. However, the Magus is a powerful magic casting job, especially when combined with the ability to cast spells twice with the Red Mage's Dualcast ability, and even being the key to crafting one of the most powerful fusion abilities, Gigaflare.
Appearance
In the original Japanese-exclusive cellphone version, all party members are dressed in either blue or black colored robes and wearing pointy hats with a yellow crescent moon on it, 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 entirely abandoned, with the character's 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, are the length of their cloaks and the lack of gloves on male characters.
