Black Mage (Tactics A2)

Black Mage is a job in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift usable by humes, nu mou, and moogles.
==Profile==
Nu mou, with their higher Magick stat, are the best for the job, though it also grants the highest Magick growth for humes and moogles. The moogle Black Mages are better than hume counterparts since they have better MP growth.
Since Black Mages specialize in Black Magick, which deals elemental damage, they are especially useful in exploiting an enemy's elemental weakness, which can be done easily with the aid of the Geomancy support skill. Black Mages have a high Magick stat, decent Resistance, and high MP, but they are frail and best kept from harm.
A good technique is to have a Black Mage equip robes that absorb elemental damage, then target both the enemy and themselves with the proper respective spells for a potent combination of damaging and self-healing. If the unit has the passive ability Geomancy equipped while having any elemental-absorbing gear no HP will be rewarded.
Black King Nware of Cinquleur is a Black Mage and a worthy adversary. Montblanc also joins the party with this job.
