The '''Black Bishop''' is a monster class available in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''.

==Description==
The [[Black Bishop]] is the monster equivalent to the [[Sage]]. Just like the sage, the cost of spells for a character is less than a regular class. The Black Bishop class offers great increases to magic categories and a moderate drop in Max HP.

==Requirements==
In order to become a Bishop, a character must first master the [[Delusionist (Vocation)|Delusionist]] and the [[Bone baron (Vocation)|Bone Baron]] classes. A Heart can also be obtained in battle by fighting the crazed cardinals in the [[Cathedral of Blight]].
