Intelligence is the statistic that determines the effectiveness of magical attacks. All forms of mages and wizards have high Intelligence scores, with the Black Mage and Black Wizard possessing exceptionally great quantities of Intelligence. The Fighter and, to a lesser extent the Knight, has a terrible score.
It is widely believed that, due to a design mistake, Intelligence score has no actual effect on gameplay.
