==Lore==
{{Quote|In days long past, there existed an evil clan and arcane art known as black magic—a potent magic of pure destructive force born forth by a sorceress of unparalleled power. Those who learned to wield this instrument of ruin came to be called black mages, out of both fear and respect for their gift. Yet great power served to corrupt the judgment of mortal man, and so he unknowingly set out upon the path of ruin. Adventurers who take the black will become agents of devastation, capable of annihilating those who oppose them through little more than the force of their will.|Game Description}}

==General Information==
[[Black Mage]] is a [[jobs|job]] that specializes in devastating their enemies through the use of black magic. Black Mage evolves from the [[classes|class]] [[thaumaturge]]. Using [[staves]] and [[scepters]], Black Mages are ranged damage dealers with powerful AoE spells and crowd controls. They have all the [[Thaumaturge Actions|abilities]] and [[Thaumaturge Traits|traits]] of [[Thaumaturge]]s. They can also use all the cross-class abilities of [[arcanist]] and [[archer]]. The most important [[attributes|stat]] for the black mage is [[intelligence]], which increases [[Attack Magic Potency|attack magic potency]]. The level of your Black Mage is equivalent to that of your Thaumaturge.

==Requirements==
* Level 30 [[Thaumaturge]]
* Level 15 [[Archer]]
* Completion of Main Scenario quest: [[Sylph-management]]

'''Note''':

I am able to get the six [[Fire IV]] in with around 840 [[Spell Speed]]/Full Prototype Midan gear. If you are having trouble, start off with two Fire IVs, not three, and work your way up to three in a row. Even with high spell speed, I can just barely get off [[Blizzard IV]] before Enochian drops. Remember in boss fights to do what you can to keep Enochian up!
