White Mage (白魔道士 or 白魔道師 Shiromadoushi lit. White Magic Adherent) is a special Job class in the Final Fantasy series, and is featured in several installments. It is among the first Job classes introduced in the series.

Profile

Their equipment includes staves and maces (as well as hammers in the original Final Fantasy), but in later installments they used magical rods instead. Their armor, like most mages, is limited to lightweight vests and mage robes. Their physical stats are usually higher than those of a Black Mage (because they cannot defend themselves), but are not as high as some other classes. Their magic stats, of course, are high.

The most prominent ability of a White Mage is to cast White Magic, which usually includes healing and support magic, but may also include status spells. In later installments, they were given the ability "Pray," in which the party's HP would be restored for no cost. The HP restored would be minimal. Their ability to heal, protect, and resurrect fallen members of the party make them typically invaluable, as they are usually the only efficient way of healing.

White Mages tend to dress in white robes with red triangular lining. They tend to lean towards lighter armor, generally robes, and their robes are trimmed with red triangles that usually flare out from cuffs, around hems, or on the lining of the players hood if they wear one. Most White Mages are female, but some males have been White Mages as well. Male White Mages generally do not wear hoods; however, female ones do. Sometimes Summoners are also able to cast White Magic. The recurring White Robe and Cat-Ear Hood are related to this job.

Appearances

Final Fantasy

Although lacking in offensive power, White Mages are valuable due to their healing abilities. The upgraded 'White Wizard' is even more powerful.

Final Fantasy II

Minwu is the royal White Wizard of Fynn, and one of the few male White Mages in the series. He has access to many high-level spells when he joins the party.

Final Fantasy III

The White Mage job is received by the Wind Crystal, while the Devout job is received by the Earth Crystal. Both specialise in White Magic. Aria Benett, Sara Altney, Prince Alus and Unei aid the party with White Magic.

Final Fantasy IV

Rosa Joanna Farrell and Porom are both White Mages. White Mages also appear as NPCs in various locations.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

White Mage is a character who, along with Black Mage, accompanies Ceodore and the Hooded Man as they pass through the Devil's Road.

Final Fantasy V

The White Mage job is held by one of the shards of the Wind Crystal. Its job abilities grant access to White Magic.

Final Fantasy VI

Banon is officially classified as an Oracle, but has Pray as his ability and equips rods, both attributes of White Mages.

Final Fantasy VII

Though Final Fantasy VII has no job system, Aeris Gainsborough is often considered a White Mage, as she has high magic stats, equips rods and staffs, and her Limit Breaks heal and buff the party.

Final Fantasy IX

Princess Garnet and Eiko Carol are able to cast White Magic along with Summon Magic, although Eiko has a far greater dominance over it, while Garnet favors summoning. Garnet also dresses in the traditional White Mage robes as a disguise early in the game.

Final Fantasy X

Yuna is a Summoner, but not unlike the Final Fantasy IX summoners, her section of the Sphere Grid contains White Magic and other White Mage abilities like Pray.

Final Fantasy X-2

The White Mage Dressphere is the same as the classic White Mages of the series, with minimal attack power, but large healing power. This particular iteration of the class is notable because it cannot directly use physical attacks unless it is berserked.

Final Fantasy XI

The White Mage is one of the six base jobs of Final Fantasy XI and is the most adept at healing and the only job with the ability to heal almost all debuffs. White Mages are also capable of the traditional supportive magic as well as a limited number of status-inflicting spells.

Final Fantasy XII International

The Aries License Grid holds licenses for the White Mage job. White Mages use Rods and some sword-type weapons, and can cast all White Magick and some Green Magick.

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings

Penelo is a mix between a Dancer and a White Mage, and has several White Magic spells in her skillset. Hume White Mages also appear as an enemy.

Final Fantasy XIII

The Medic Paradigm role is very similar to a White Mage. Even though their abilities are never defined as 'White Magic', they can perform nothing but healing spells. Vanille and Hope are the only characters who are capable of learning all of the Medic abilities.


Final Fantasy Tactics

White Mages have access to all White Magicks, and have the reaction ability of Auto-Regen and support ability of extra magick defense. They can wield staves and light armor and robes. They are also the fastest among the magickal classes.


Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

The White Mage job is a basic job for Humes, Viera and Nu Mou. Their abilities of healing are of huge use throughout the entire game.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift

The White Mage reappears in A2 as a base job for the same three races. The Seer is a new job that can learn mid-level spells of both black and white magic, but dresses in a manner similar to White Mages, even wearing the traditional Cat-Ear Hood.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King

White Mages can be recruited as adventurers and have access to the most traditional White Magic and wield hammers.

Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light

The White Mage crown appears in this game, and enhances the use of traditional White Magic.

Dissidia Final Fantasy

In the Duel Colosseum, when selected, the White Mage job card will fully heal the player's HP after battle.

Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy

The White Mage job card reappears in the new Labyrinth mode, and will heal the current lead character to full health.

The White Mage is also a job that can be selected for a character in a party in Quick Battle or wireless matches, doubling the rate of bravery recovery.

Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon

Chocobo can use the White Mage job in Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon, while Shirma is a recurring White Mage in the Chocobo series.
