How Is There a Curse on the Dark Arts Job

Dark wizards who are masters of the undead, and have no fear of the Dark Arts.

Description

The Necromancer is a job in the Game Boy Advance and the now defunct mobile and Steam versions of Final Fantasy 5, found in the Sealed Temple later on defeating Enuo. It is a unique job with a potetially powerful set of abilities. Though a powerful and interesting job, by the time information technology is caused, there are few challenges in the game remaining.

Night Arts is more than powerful than the Black Magic and Summon skillsets, and tin be farther boosted due to the equipment choices the Necromancer has (rods for fire, ice, lightning, and poison, and Air Pocketknife for wind). The Necromancer is similar to the Blue Mage in that any Dark Arts must be learned from enemies; the Necromancer must deal the finishing blow to a specific enemy to learn a Dark Arts spell.

The downside of the Necromancer is their inherent undead status, making healing them a chore. Various methods can bypass this, such as White Air current or the Necromancer'south Drain Touch spell. Unlike the inherent undead condition of the Bone Postal service, Necromancers can be revived once they are KO'd. Necromancers cannot equip Bone Postal service or Thornlet because their innate undead status would negate those items' drawbacks.

Mastering Necromancer for all 4 characters in the defunct mobile and Steam versions earns the achievement "Undead Freak".

Stats [ ]

Stat	Modifier
Force	+4
Agility	+i
Stamina	+21
Magic	+29

Necromancers have Magic equal to that of a Black Mage and Stamina (determining their HP) equal to that of a Knight. This is unique, as spellcasting is not usually associated with high HP.

Any task equipped with Nighttime Arts Level 1 will gain their character'southward base Freelancer Magic +13 if their default stat is lower. For each additional Dark Arts level up to level 5, the Magic bonus is increased by four per level, for a maximum of +29 Magic at Dark Arts Level v.

Thus, the base Magic stat for a character with Night Arts equipped is as follows:

• Nighttime Arts Level ane = Base Freelancer Magic +thirteen
• Dark Arts Level ii = Base Freelancer Magic +17
• Dark Arts Level iii = Base of operations Freelancer Magic +21
• Dark Arts Level 4 = Base Freelancer Magic +25
• Night Arts Level five = Base Freelancer Magic +29

Upon mastery, Freelancers and Mimes gain the Necromancer'south stats unless they already have a higher base of operations from another mastered job.

Equipment [ ]

Necromancers have typical mage equipment. They can wield knives, rods, magic hats, robes, and armlets.

Rods will randomly deal anywhere between 0% to 200% of its listed harm based on the assailant's Magic stat and the defender'southward Magic Defense stat and deal full impairment from the back row. Many rods can exist consumed to cast item magic. Wonder Wand will cast spells in a specified order, starting from Cure upwardly to Osmose, and so loops back to Cure. It can exist used when the Mute spell has been cast. The ultimate rod is Demon'southward Rod found in the bonus dungeon Sealed Temple.

The ultimate magical headgear the Necromancer can wear is the Royal Crown, available from the Sealed Temple. However, another good lid to wear is the Golden Hairpin, which halves MP use. The all-time robe is the Robe of Lords, also bachelor in the Sealed Temple.

The Undead innate support power means that a Necromancer volition be hurt by healing spells and items in battle, but spells like Death will fully replenish their HP. Outside of battle they can be healed commonly. Like the Berserker'due south Berserk ability, the Freelancer and Mime jobs are unaffected by Undead once Necromancer has been mastered. Undead reverses all draining spells except Drain Touch, and about healing spells and items volition deal damage instead. Whatsoever item or spell that would revive sets the Undead user'south HP to unmarried digits. KO'd characters with the Undead power may be revived normally, as opposed to the Os Mail'south innate Undead power.

After leveling upward the Necromancer chore, a character can accept the Dark Arts power equipped on whatever other job and utilize any Dark Arts spell whose associated level has been attained by the Necromancer. To be able to use all Dark Arts spells as a non-Necromancer, a character must level their Necromancer job up to level 5. Dark Arts is the main power for Necromancers, who can use all Dark Arts spells without the demand to attain a spell'due south associated level first.
