"Master Vivi, why would those mages be the same as you? And why would it matter if they were...?" - Steiner
"I won't let you make any more instruments of murder!." - Vivi
Zidane and Steiner join forces and enlist the help of Vivi to rescue Garnet, who has been captured by a creature in the Evil Forest. Seeing Vivi’s powerful black magic in action inspires Steiner, who asks Vivi to enhance his sword with spells.
Black Waltz 3 attacks the cargo ship that Zidane and the others are traveling on. The party defeats this foe, but learning of the black mages causes Vivi to worry he is like them. Steiner says Vivi is not defined by their actions, setting his fears to rest.

Relics
Banner 1:These banners revert from the XIII format (2x 6*) because were doing events backwards. We should return to the XIII format after the VI event.
Steiner's OSB hits Fire/Ice/Lightning, but has a mechanic similar to Agrias OSB where it does extra damage when hitting a weakness. His old BSB and Imperil Fire SSB return as well.
Vivi gets a shiny new tri-element burst with Fire/Ice/Thunder on entry. CMD1 is another tri-element blast, while CMD2 is a Mag/Def bargain. Entry also has a Mag/Res boost for the party, so stack those buffs!
Zidane's get a spin on Squall's recent BSB, though obviously taking on Wind element instead of Ice. Entry gives Zidane En-wind, CMD1 steals a targets Atk in 10% increments up to 30%, when CMD2 gives the party that Atk buff. It does stack with all current forms of Atk up, as the "Swift Seal" counter is a unique buff ID.
Rest of the banner is older stuff. Garnet's Hastega and Faithga return, but Freya's hella old SSB is also present.
Banner 2:This banner is all old items, of questionable quality.
Beatrix OSB and BSB return, as does Garnet's 2nd BSB, Quina's Full Breakdown, and her Gold Hairpin which has a rare water element damage up.
To celebrate Eiko getting Record Dive, DeNa also graciously added her old Reraise SSB medica.
Legend Materias:Banner 1 - Steiner: Spellblade abilities may trigger 10% Imperil Fire on target.
Banner 1 - Zidane: 35% chance to reduce CT when using Thief abilities.
Banner 2 - Vivi: Increases Black Magic ability damage but increases their cast times.
Banner 2 - Beatrix: 30% chance to draw an enemy attack, and reduce its damage by 20%. It can proc on AoE hits.
