Black mages. . . .

[valetarkus]

stone has been a white magic spell in previous ff. FF3 to name at least one. Didn't bother to verify with any others.

In FF2 the black mage seemed to have all the elemental spells like some want. And in ff3 white mage did have aero, stone, and tornado. So it does go both ways.

I personally like that white mage has some attaking elemenatl abilities. It makes it more fun to play. Healing over and over and over can get boring especially when your party is doing well.
