Dark Wizards are deadly enemies that usually take the party by surprise, and often open with Fire3 Spells. A large group of these can kill the party outright before they even have a chance to flee. They don't have a lot of HP, but they do have a lot of Defense (both physical and magical), and no weaknesses. The Rune Blade is useful against them due to its Accuracy bonus, but it's no simple matter breaking through their defenses. It might be worth burning high-level Spell slots to soften them up, or just running away. Their Spell selection doesn't get any less deadly after their first Spell, so don't get into a long fight with them.

Healing spells and damaging spells that are not resisted have a hit point effect between one and two times this number, or half that when resisted (damage can be further modified by elemental weaknesses or resistances)
Power
A modifier to the likelihood of the spell being resisted; there is a base chance to hit of approximately 74% plus half this value, modified by the target's magic defense
Accuracy		 Target
The status ailment cured of inflicted by the spell if it is not resisted
Status
The elemental nature of the spell; weakness to the element makes the spell approximately 20% more likely to hit and adds a 50% bonus to any damage dealt, while resistance halves damage and nearly guarantees that the spell will be resisted (for a net of 1/4 normal damage)

On their own, Dark Warriors are not much of a threat. Their cousins the Dark Wizards, who you may remember from the Ice Cavern, are far nastier. This is because Dark Warriors are support mages rather than offensive mages. They don't last against physical attacks, nor is their physical attack dangerous. They will appear with groups of Dark Wizards in the Temple of Chaos Past, and this can be a tough fight. You might be tempted to take down the Dark Warrior first, since it will often lead with a NulAll Spell, but you're not going to want to use offensive magic anyway. Take down the Dark Wizards before they tear apart your party. Unless the battle goes far longer than it should, the Dark Warrior will never get around to its more annoying Spells.

MAGES are deadly enemies that usually take the party by surprise. They often open with RUB, and things only get worse from there. LIT3 and FIR3 will each deal well over 100 damage to each target. Use your most powerful attack Spells, or just run.
