Black Magick (Tactics)

Black Magick , also known as Black Magic in the PlayStation version, is elementally-aligned offensive magick in Final Fantasy Tactics and the action ability of the Black Mage. In the PlayStation version Black Mage has a chance of chanting when casting a spell, but in the War of the Lions remake these were removed.
After being learned in the Black Magick skillset, the spells can also be used in the Arithmetician's Arithmeticks command.
==Black Magick==
===Mechanics===
The amount of damage inflicted by Black Magicks is as follows:
:\text{Magick Attack} \times \text{PWR} \times (\text{Faith}/100) \times (\text{Target Faith}/100)
The chance of inflicting a status is as follows:
:(\text{Magick Attack} + \text{PWR}) \times (\text{Faith}/100) \times (\text{Target Faith}/100)
Firaja, Blizzaja, and Thundaja have a 30% chance of randomly being learned in battle by a Black Mage who hasn't learned the spell yet and is damaged but not KO'd by the spell, or absorbed and heals at least 1 HP. Nullifying the damage does not count.
