Best way to unlock Sylvain black magic spell power: obtain Poison Strike and Fiendish Blow

 

I think Sylvain as a trickster could work well. Just remember to equip Poison Strike for this build.

Yes, I actually got fiendish blow for him already (as well as death blow) Just need to work on that poison strike. Great idea!

Hey what's going on guys?  Got some great insight for you. I believe that the trickster class is practically made for Sylvain. How so? Well, it just so happens that he has a hidden talent for black magic where he learns Black magic avoid +20. So of course I taught him the required faith magic as well as black magic. To help him with swords I picked him as the representative for the dance competition where he earned Sword avoid +20. This is perfect as trickster specializes is swords and magic. He'll practically be untouched by most enemies and can be used as a dodge tank(especially useful on maddening). Hope this helps.
