'''Black magic''' (Japanese: {{hover|くろまほう|Kuromahō}} ''Black magic'') is a weapon type in the {{FES}} appearing in {{FE2}}, its remake {{FE15}}, and in {{FE16}}. It is comprised of these games' offensive spells. Spells not exclusive to these games appear as other types of magic in other games in the series. Despite the name, two black magic spells appear in other games of the series as [[Light (magic)|light magic tomes]]. Along with [[white magic]], black magic makes up the broader magic weapon type in the original NES release of ''Gaiden'', but it is split from it in the remake.
 
'''Black magic''' (Japanese: {{hl|黒魔法|Kuromahō}} ''Black magic'') is a weapon type in the {{FES}} appearing in {{FE2}}, its remake {{FE15}}, and {{FE16}}. In ''Gaiden'' and ''Shadows of Valentia'', it comprises the games' offensive spells, and is generally analogous to other games' [[tome]] weapon type. Along with [[white magic]], black magic makes up the broader magic weapon type in the original NES release, but it is split from it in the remake.
 
In ''Three Houses'', black magic is tied to a unit's '''Reason''' [[skill level]]. Unlike in ''Gaiden'' and ''Shadows of Valentia'', black magic is not the sole offensive weapon type, as white magic incorporates light-based offensive spells, and [[dark magic]]—also based off reason, though much rarer—includes many spells not present in either prior game. Black magic in ''Three Houses'' is generally comparable to [[anima magic]] in other games.
