After the event Black Mage was defeated, his area was re-released as permanent content, with the real Black Mage being released. There are two modes: Story mode (for the storyline, cannot be fought afterward) and Hard mode (the real version, for the rewards). Once you beat him once in Hard mode, you obtain a Sealed Genesis weapon, and unlock a series of quests to unseal the weapon, which involve fighting the Black Mage's commanders.
He's still undefeated in KMS at the moment in Hard mode, by the way.
Thanks for the recap!
