Red Mage (Final Fantasy III)

The Red Mage is a job class in Final Fantasy III gained from the Wind Crystal. In the opening FMV of the 3D version, Ingus is depicted as a Red Mage. Red Mages use a wide assortment of weapons, and both Black and White Magic, but are unable to become true masters of either school of wizardry. 
==Characteristics==
Like the original Final Fantasy, Red Mages wear red clothes, red capes, and a red hat with a feather. The Red Mage's battle sprite from the Famicom version is nearly identical to the one used for the class in the original, but with some additional white trim.
==Abilities==
===Famicom version===
*Command ability - White and Black Magic Levels 1–4
The Red Mage can use both White and Black Magics up to level 4. The job is mainly useful during the opening portions of the game, but loses its worth once level 5 White and Black Magic become available for caster jobs solely dedicated for the skillsets.
