They have the lowest HP and virtually no attack power. However, they learn the best offensive spells of the game. He is perfect for taking down enemies quickly, but must be protected in a fight. He is a powerful addition to any party, but in Normal mode his spell casting abilities are limited. He has very low MP score, meaning a Red Mage's balance of magic and physical strength is often a better choice. He is best suited to an Easy mode party. Upon his class change, he can learn spells up to level 8, but stays similar to the Black Mage in stats. « Back
