Black Mage (M.U.G.E.N Trilogy)

Black Mage is a playable character in the fighting video game, M.U.G.E.N Trilogy. He was confirmed along with many other characters who could have appeared in the Super Smash Bros. series on September 13, 2019.

Description
Black Mage is NOT a generic sole character in the FINAL FANTASY franchise, but it is, in fact, one of the most iconic job classes from said franchise. In most of the game, Black Mage is a magic user specializing in attack magic, Black Magic. Their weapons are generally restricted to rods and daggers. They are usually depicted wearing distinctive costumes consisting of a blue or black robe and a large conical, wide-brimmed hat which obscures their face, with two yellow eyes shining from within the shadow. The outfit of the Black Mages is similar to the generic appearance of a wizard. In the original NES game, the Black Wizard lacked the hat and obscured face that became the defining features of the Black Mage. This was changed in the WonderSwan remakes and FINAL FANTASY Origins so that he still looks like a traditional Black Mage after becoming a Black Wizard. In FINAL FANTASY IX, the Black Mage Village is a forested hamlet where many mass-produced Black Mages have become self-aware. FINAL FANTASY IX is the only game that features Black Mages as a distinct race, although the Yukes of FINAL FANTASY Crystal Chronicles are very similar in their inhuman appearance and magical ability.

The Black Mage is available as a class in FINAL FANTASY, FINAL FANTASY III, FINAL FANTASY V, FINAL FANTASY X-2, FINAL FANTASY XI, FINAL FANTASY XII International Zodiac Job System, FINAL FANTASY Tactics, and FINAL FANTASY Tactics Advance. In the English localization of FINAL FANTASY Tactics, Black Mages were called Wizards. In FINAL FANTASY, Black Mages can be upgraded into Black Wizards. Other black mages throughout the series are Rydia (who is also a Summoner and loses the ability to cast White Magic halfway through the game) and Palom of FINAL FANTASY IV, Vivi Orunitia from FINAL FANTASY IX (who also carries several of the distinct characteristics of a Black Mage), Lulu from FINAL FANTASY X and Kytes (FINAL FANTASY XII: Revenant Wings).
