Dark Mage

The Dark Mage (ダークメイジ) is a class that appears in the Fire Emblem series. In Thracia 776, it was a promoted unit that promoted from Lopto Mage. Dark Mages usually have less magic than Mages, though they generally have higher defense and exclusive access to Dark Magic, if available.

In Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, no unit starts as a Dark Mage by default, but Cord and Caesar are recommended reclass candidates, as they both have a 30% growth rate in magic as Dark Mages, which is higher than other candidates.

Its equivalent in the GBA titles is the Shaman.
