FFXIV Black Mage

A Lalafell stands before a horde of kobolds, blood thirsty they dash towards him. With a few skillful waves of his staff, a large fire ball erupts from the gem inlaid at the end of the staff, causing a massive fiery explosion, leaving nothing but ash.

A woman wearing dark robes grins as she waves her wand before a guard refusing her entry. With a few choice words and a spell, the guard happily steps aside, unlocking the passage bowing to her as she passes.

An Elezen laughs at the umbral hue of his magics as he unleashes a fireball empowered by dark magics upon his foes, his demonic servant chuckling at his side watching the dust settle.

A black mage is a powerful ally who wields forbidden magic. This raw energy manifests itself into devastating spells and effects. Their power is only rivaled by their thirst to increase that power.

Level 3: Manafont

At 3rd level, you have unlocked the secrets of storing magical energy in your body and utilizing it to assist your spell casting.

You have three Mana points, and you gain more as you reach higher levels, as shown in the Mana Points column of the Black Mage table. You can never have more mana points than shown on the table for your level. You regain all spent mana points when you finish a long rest.

Level 3: Leylines

When you cast a spell, the residual mana from your spell temporarily creates a leyline, which can be manipulated with your manafont.

If you cast a spell last turn and have not moved or taken any other actions during your turn, you may spend a number of mana points equal to that spell's level to cast an evocation spell equal to or lower than that level without expending a spell slot. Your turn immediately ends after casting the spell. You can cast spells in this way no higher in level than 5th.

Level 6: Void Sense

Beginning at 6th level, you have learned to borrow power from the void to improve your senses and causing your eyes to glow with dim red light. You may spend 1 mana point to gain darkvision out to 60ft. for one hour. If you already have darkvision, the range is increased by 60ft. Additionally, you gain advantage on perception checks that use your eyes while under this effect.

Level 6: Polygot

Beginning at the 6th level, your magical studies have warped your mind and understanding of the world. You can read all writing.

Level 10: Unshaken Will

Beginning at the 10th level, when you must make a wisdom saving throw, you may spend 1 mana point to gain advantage on the saving throw.

Level 10: Aetherial Manipulation

Beginning at the 10th level, you are able to more effectively manipulate your Leylines. Your movement is no longer restricted when making use of your Leylines feature. Casting a spell with the effect of Leylines still immediately ends your turn.

Additionally, if you expended a spell slot during your last turn, as a bonus action, you may spend one mana point to magically teleport back to the location you were standing in when you cast the spell if the space is unoccupied.

Level 14: Devestating Force

Beginning at the 14th level, when you roll damage for a spell and roll the highest number possible on any of the dice, choose one of those dice, roll it again and add that roll to the damage. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.
