Pro Tip: Always keep an eye on your MP! Black Magic can be MP-hungry, especially the higher-level spells. Make sure you've got items like Ethers or Elixirs handy, or consider abilities that help restore MP.

Another Tip: Don't forget about Group-Cast! It's a lifesaver for hitting multiple enemies with those powerful elemental spells, especially when facing groups of weaker foes.
