Black Magic is the term given to offensive magical spells in Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. In Three Houses, this type of magic is referred to as Reason magic.
Overview
Black Magic is similar to Anima magic as it focuses mainly on offensive elemental spells. Unlike Anima Magic which can be generally used by anyone given the specific Tomes, casters instead learn specific spells of their own preference as they Level Up and Promote. Since magic users in Gaiden and Echoes do not use Tomes, they must expend a fixed amount of HP to cast the spells.
