The Dark Knight
It's a son of a bitch to unlock. I just finished mastering my Black Mage class the other day. Took me a good four days of playing to do it, too.
All I have to do now is get Geomancer, Samurai, Dragoon, and Ninja Job levels to level eight. I swear, the easiest part of this is getting the crystals and mastering the Knight.
So now I'm just hours away from unlocking it, really. Does anyone have any descriptions of it's skills and the JP it costs to learn skills? I can't seem to find anything anywhere on it. I'm interested in knowing if that one move that Gaffgarion always uses is available. xD

You can think of it as one of the special knight classes but available to Ramza and normal characters. The dark knight doesn't have that many skills to learn, but the few skills cost loads of JP. You'll probably find yourself only using the first two or three attacks though. But it's worth it, they're pretty powerful.
Gafgarion's HP draining skill is available to Orlandu (or Orlandeau if you like), isn't it? The dark knight does have a similar skill though: Sanguine Sword. Same thing, different name.
I guess you must have unlocked it by now. Remember, if you'd like max out another character's black magic, that you can teach Firaja, Thundaja and Blizzaja to a black mage by casting it on her/him, just like Ramza learns Ultima. Makes life easier.

Seriously? I can cast spells on another Black Mage and they'll learn it? xD
Also, thanks for that, but how much JP do they cost... like, 1000, or maybe 2000...?(Let's hope not )

Only the '-aja' spells can be learned that way if the the target is a black mage and doesn't get killed by your spell. The chance of them learning it is less than 100% (but more than 50% I think), so you'd need to keep trying if it failed the first time. This is where the Dark Knight's mana draining skill comes in handy, assuming your Dark Knight is doing the teaching.
The most useful 3 attacks cost the least amount of JP. Sanguine Sword (300), Infernal Strike (500), Crushing Blow (100).
The other skills cost 1000 JP and over. I think you'll need around 6000-7000 JP to master Dark Knight.

(At ~SapphireStar~'s request to put in more effort) Sounds cool enough already considering the PS1 version did not have this job class (And the Onion Knight for that matter).

...you must be new to the game.
in even the old one you would do that with ultima and zodiac which both require the character to get hit and survive it to be learned.

The question i have is, who/which person/monster in the game actually uses Firaja? Though i have played out this whole game several times before, i don't remember anyone/thing casting an -aja spell..!

I suppose this is less obvious than Ultima and Zodiark since -aja spells are available to all characters, they're not as special.
I'm not sure if there's a particular enemy who uses -aja spells on you. I don't think so. Your best bet would be to teach it to one character yourself, then have them cast it on your other black mages.
For Ultima, it's Celia, Lede (Lettie) and Ultima Demons. Only Ramza and Luso (in their basic jobs) can learn it.
For Zodiark it's Elidibus in Midlight's Deep. Only summoners can learn it.
