Black Mage

Sorcerers who unleash devastating spells upon their enemies. They channel their destruction through staffs, which employ dark, fire, ice, and lightning spells.

Overview

Black Mage is a caster DPS with absurdly high damage, focused around a steady output of hard-hitting spells with long cast times. They burn through their MP during their Astral Fire phase for bonus damage on Fire spells, which is then restored during their Umbral Ice phase, for increased MP regeneration. This cycle repeats itself, although their limited mobility chains down their destruction.

Notable Skills

Paradox

Paradox is a spell the Black Mage may cast after switching between their Astral Fire and Umbral Ice phases. It deals devastating damage with an added bonus depending on which phase they are currently in. In Astral Fire, there is a 40% chance the Black Mage can instantly cast Fire III for free upon using Paradox. In Umbral Ice, Paradox itself is instantly cast at no MP cost. Using Paradox resets the current phase timer.

Ley Lines

Ley Lines places a circle of power where the Black Mage is currently standing. While inside that circle, their spells can be casted and recasted 15% faster. While extremely potent, this heavily hinders the Black Mage's mobility as they must remain inside the circle. They can use Between the Lines to instantly teleport back to their Ley Lines.

Xenoglossy

Xenoglossy is an extremely potent dark spell that a Black Mage can cast by consuming stacks of Polyglot, which are generated periodically provided the Black Mage keeps their Astral Fire or Umbral Ice active. Polyglot can also be generated through the Amplifier ability, whcih can be used every 120 seconds.
