"Singularity"
Orpheus channels the ambient mana connects with the void and tears open a rift. A singularity grows sucking in all enemies in a 60ft radius. Just when it seems the Singularity will absorb all things, Orpheus collapses the singularity to the size of a marble and ruptures it dealing all within 15d12 . Allies are shielded from the devastation.

Overview & Creation

A Lalafell stands before a horde of kobolds, blood thirsty they dash towards him. With a few skillful waves of his staff, a large fireball erupts from the gem inlaid at the end of the staff, causing a massive fiery explosion, leaving nothing but ash.
A woman wearing dark robes grins as she waves her wand before a guard refusing her entry. With a few choice words and a spell, the guard happily steps aside, unlocking the passage before falling unconscious due to illness.
An Elezen laughs at his reflection as he inspects his body after tapping into the powers of the void. His eyes glow red and his teeth bare fangs, signs that his mastery of magic is growing.
A black mage is a powerful ally who wields forbidden magic stolen from the void. This raw energy manifests itself into devestation spells and effects. Their power is only rivaled by their thirst to increase that power.

 

A Dark Past

In days long past, there existed an evil clan and arcane art known as black magic— a potent magic of pure destructive force born forth by a sorceress of unparalleled power. Those who learned to wield this instrument of ruin came to be called black mages, out of both fear and respect for their gift. Yet great power served to corrupt the judgment of mortal man, and so he unknowingly set out upon the path of ruin. Adventurers who take the black will become agents of devastation, capable of annihilating those who oppose them through little more than the force of their will.

 

Ties to the Void

In order for a mage to don the black, they must extensively research what they call the void. This is another plane of existence from which Black Mages draw knowledge from in order to unlock power within themselves. Most black mages are able to explore the knowledge gained from the void through tomes and texts now, but some who thirst for new power may attempt to tap into the void directly. Black Mages continue to grow within their craft through continuing their study of the dark arts.

 

Creating a Black Mage

Black Mages are earnest in their desires and reasons for taking the black. More often than not it is in the pursuit of power or out of sheer curiousity. You must know why you are pursuing this power, or why you are curious about the dark arts. You must also decide where you began to dip your toes into the world of black magic. Did you join a cult of mages who studied the art? Perhaps a proper school which provides the proper materials to explore black mage. Maybe you were taken under the wing of a mentor who has mastered the art.

 

Quick Build

You can make a Black Mage quickly by following these suggestions. First make Intelligence your highest ability score, following with Constitution. Second select the Destroyer discipline. Third take the scholar background. Fourth, take the Firebolt, Ray of Frost, Thaumaturgy and Thunderclap cantrips and the first level spells Burning Hands and Witch Bolt.


Class Features

Enochian

At 1st level, you have learned the secrets to Enochian. When you cast spells, residual aether builds in your body which empower your spell casting. You gain one stack of Enochian each time you expend a spell slot. Stacks of Enochian will remain in your body for up to 1 minute before dissipating. Each time you cast a spell, the dissipation time for all stacks restarts. For each stack of Enochian aether in your body, your damage dealing spells deal an addition point of damage. If a spell deals damage multiple times, this bonus is applied once. At 1st level you may hold a maximum of one stack of Enochian in your body, this limit increases at the 3rd, 6th, 10th, 14th and 18th levels.

 

Magical Discipline

At 2nd level, you choose the discipline you belong to as a Black Mage. Destroyer, Inflictor, or Void Soul, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your archetype choice grants you features at the 2nd, 6th, 10th and 14th level.

 

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

  • (a) an explorer's pack or (b) a scholar's pack


Spellcasting

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know 4 cantrips of your choice from the Black Mage spell list. You learn additional Black Mage cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Mage table.

 

Spell Slots

The Black Mage table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

 

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know 2 1st-level spells of your choice from the Black Mage spell list. The Spells Known column of the Black Mage table shows when you learn more Black Mage spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st, 2nd or 3rd level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Black Mage spells you know and replace it with another spell from the Mage spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For a full list of Black Mage spells, see the Eorzean Spell List document.

 

Spellcasting Ability

The spellcasting ability for your Black Mage spells changes depending upon the discipline you select. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Black Mage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

 

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a rod, cane, wand or other similar equipment as an arcane focus (found in chapter 5 of the player's handbook) for your Black Mage spells.

 

Ritual Casting

You can cast any Black Mage spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.


Subclass Options

Bringers of the end

Unabated use of black magic lead to the downfall of the society in which black mages find their roots alongside the white mage's overuse of white magic. Black Mages wield incredibly destructive powers which set their world on a path to destruction once before, and careless use of this power could do so again. An Annihilator specializes in powerful, destructive magic, an Inflictor uses enchantments and poison to cripple their foes, and a Void Soul has offered their body to the voidsent, causing unforeseen change in their body in exchange for power.

 
 

Annihilator

Annihilators are black mages who specialize in maximizing the effects of their magic. Fires which burn hotter and ice which freezes more deeply. They are ever chasing more potent magics to show the world.

Minor Illusion

0-level (Cantrip) Illusion

Casting Time: 1 Action
Range/Area: 30 Feet
Components: S, M
Materials: A bit of fleece
Duration: 1 Minute
You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again. I you create a sound, it's volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends. If you create an image of an object - such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest - it must be no larger that a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature.

Phantasmal Force

2-level Illusion

Casting Time 1 Action
Range 60ft
Duration Concentration, up to 1 Minute
Components V, S, M
Materials A bit of Fleece

You craft an illusion that takes root in the mind of a creature that you can see within range. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, you create a phantasmal object, creature, or other visible phenomenon of your choice that is no larger than a 10-foot cube and that is perceivable only to the target for the duration. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.   The phantasm includes sound, temperature, and other stimuli, also evident only to the creature.   The target can use its action to examine the phantasm with an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If the check succeeds, the target realizes that the phantasm is an illusion, and the spell ends.   While a target is affected by the spell, the target treats the phantasm as if it were real. The target rationalizes any illogical outcomes from interacting with the phantasm. For example, a target attempting to walk across a phantasmal bridge that spans a chasm falls once it steps onto the bridge. If the target survives the fall, it still believes that the bridge exists and comes up with some other explanation for its fall — it was pushed, it slipped, or a strong wind might have knocked it off.   An affected target is so convinced of the phantasm's reality that it can even take damage from the illusion. A phantasm created to appear as a creature can attack the target. Similarly, a phantasm created to appear as fire, a pool of acid, or lava can burn the target. Each round on your turn, the phantasm can deal 1d6 psychic damage to the target if it is in the phantasm's area or within 5 feet of the phantasm, provided that the illusion is of a creature or hazard that could logically deal damage, such as by attacking. The target perceives the damage as a type appropriate to the illusion.
