[@Rin]The thing is, when you both asked me for a mage pair, I said it was fine as long as you place them in specific categories. So my thing is, if she's going to be classifying her character as a Black Mage, then she needs to have more of a Black Mage feel and get away from the "general" magic. Because with her spells, she could just call herself witch, sorcerer, warlock...there is no specific class, but I wanted a specific class because a general mage can easily become overpowered. A general mage can also depreciate the worth of other characters. So she needs to define her Black Mage. I wouldn't even use D&D as an example because Black Mages are evil in D&D, broad, and their magic harms not only the enemy but everyone else. So like maybe Final Fantasy Black Mage is your best option. [b]Edit:[/b] I will say though, the D&D Black Mage spells are good ideas because they are a mixture of offensive magic spells and status affect. I didn't see anything wrong with the "Animate" spell though it did make me wonder if she was going to dip into Necromancy. But the Mana Spells, I don't want to see any pure mana spells. For example, I summon magic and I lob magic at people. I mentioned Dark Souls because there are pure mana spells in that game.
