(December 27, 2000) ======================================================================= V I V I ' S B L A C K M A G I C B A S I C S ======================================================================= Vivi, the short, cute, loveable Black Mage from Final Fantasy IX is the supreme master of Black Magic. Black Magic spells can be learned from weapons, armors, and accessories that Vivi equips throughout his journy. Each spell can be used when that item is equipped immediatly and can also be permanently learned if you fulfill it's AP (Ability Points) requirements by gaining AP from defeated monsters. Vivi can select to use black (offensive) magic in battle under the BlkMag menu. From there Vivi can cast any ONE spell he has enough MP to cast. But, when Vivi Trances, he can use DblBlk. DblBlk allows him to cast two spells a round instead of just one, greatly improving his power. ======================================================================= B L A C K M A G I C I N - D E P T H ======================================================================= An in-depth look at each of Vivi's Black Magic spells.
