Benediction in Final Fantasy XIV.

Benediction (ベネディクション, Benedikushon? or 女神の祝福, Megami no Shukufuku?) is a recurring ability in the series, which usually restores a significant amount of HP.

Appearances

Final Fantasy XI

Benediction is the White Mage special job ability. All party members within area-of-effect are instantly healed to full HP and relieved of all negative status ailments at no MP cost to the user.

Since this is such a powerful heal, the ability creates a huge amount of enmity against the caster. The ability is also infamous for the superboss Absolute Virtue's access to it, as it could completely negate hours of battle if it used late in the fight.

Legacy Final Fantasy XIV

Benediction was a White Mage ability available after completing the "Chorus of Cataclysm" quest at level 50. When used, the ability fully healed all party members within range. However, due to its ability to heal the entire party to max HP, Benediction generated a massive amount of enmity against the caster and had a long recast time of 900 seconds.

Final Fantasy XIV
