A Black Mage in Mario Hoops: 3-on-3.

Black Mage is a common job class in many RPGs, but mainly in the Final Fantasy series. They are known for casting black magic, hence their name. The most commonly used and well known black magic spells are Fire, Fira, Firaga, Blizzard, Blizzara, Blizzaga, Thunder, Thundara, and Thundaga. Their magic revolves around exploiting enemies' elemental weaknesses, but some of them are less common than the Fire, Blizzard and Thunder spells such as: Bio, Water, Aero, Quake, Drain, Osmose, Sleep, Toad, Break, Death, Flare, and Ultima, the most powerful black magic spell in many games. Notable Black Mages include Palom from Final Fantasy IV and Kytes from Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. They most often wield rods and staves, and sometimes maces.
