Curse Mage class series

The Curse Mage class series is a dual-elemental class series available only to the Venus Adept Himi. She requires both Mars and Venus Djinn to become this class series. It has many of the abilities exclusive to the (no longer included) Dark Mage class series, though it lacks the Call Psynergy series.

The class series at it's highest stage of Diabolist has very high PP, good Agility, average Attack, but lower Defense and below average HP. The series' Luck rating is average. Noteworthy Psynergy from an endgame perspective are Toxic Grit, Undead Might, and the heaviest area-of-effect Psynergy it has is Dire Inferno. Average stats from an endgame perspective are 150% (160% if one doesn't factor in Luck).

Analysis
This dual-elemental class is Himi's counterpart to the warrior-style Adepts' Brute class and effectively the pendant to The Lost Age's Dark mage class. The class is a good upgrade from her Miko class series, statistically. The Curse Mage class gains far more HP, attack and defense than Himi's mono-elemental would provide while keeping the durable PP pool and good agility at the same time, but putting her luck down to standard. However, Himi has the highest innate Luck, so the loss is not as bad.

Psynergy-wise, the Undead Curse Psynergy series provides Himi with a strong single-target attack, though the lack of a damage multiplier means the series falls short of the Dark Mage's Call Psynergy series, which fulfills a similar purpose. Meanwhile, the Raging Heat Psynergy series provides a good ranged series. The class also has several status-altering moves, including Fear Puppet and Toxic Grit, which are useful in non-boss battles. It should be noted, however, that the Curse Mage class does not have Revive, unlike its Warrior-style counterpart. A possible reasoning for this lies in the Curse Mage's Psynergy lineup revolving around death.

Overall, the Curse Mage is an excellent supporter and spellcaster, with the benefit of giving Himi more durability that her mono-elemental class. However, if the loss of Himi's healing talents and unique Weapon Grace is too much, then the Miko class is still a good option. Should the player wish for Himi to play a more physical role, as opposed to her normal supporter role, the Ninja class series is a good option.

Trivia

 * This is one of two Dual-elemental class series to learn three elements worth of Psynergy, the other being the Scrapper class series. Both class series are unique to specific characters: Only Himi can access the Curse Mage class series, and the Scrapper class series is exclusively for Sveta. This is likely not coincidental; both class series were among the class series added in Dark Dawn, and the only dual-element classes that are character-specific.
