Black Mage of Light

==Summary==
The Black Mage is one of the Warriors of Light destined to restore light to the Crystals and save the world from the wrath of the Four Fiends. A studious hermit whose face is always covered in shadow, he trades the ability to wear sturdy armor and use powerful weapons for the ability to wield destructive magic that can wreak havoc across an entire battlefield, bringing down the fury of the elements, bending the fabric of space, and manipulating time itself to support his allies from the rear.
