Dissidia Final Fantasy, White Mage Lore
White Mage (白魔道士 or 白魔道師, Shiromadōshi?, lit. White Magic Adherent) is a Job class in the Final Fantasy series, and is featured in several installments. It is among the first Job classes introduced in the series.
The Seer job is usually a stronger version of the White Mage.
Profile
The White Mage's equipment includes staves and maces (as well as hammers in the original Final Fantasy), but in later installments they more commonly use 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, but are not as high as some other classes. Their magic stats, of course, are high, though they tend to be a bit lower than a Black Mage or a Summoner.
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 Effect spells. In later installments, the White Mages have been given the ability Pray, in which the party's HP would be minimally restored for no cost. Their ability to heal, protect, and resurrect fallen members of the party make White Mages 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 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. Sometimes Summoners are also able to cast White Magic. The recurring White Robe and Cat-Ear Hood are related to this job. In virtually all games the White Mage has one offensive attack, called Holy.
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, having the ability to cast Full-Life and Holy.
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 bestowed by the Wind Crystal, and is the only dedicated White Magic-user for the majority of the game. 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 -Interlude-
Rosa Joanna Farrell and Porom are both White Mages, and NPC White Mages make an appearance in Baron Castle. White Mages have access to White Magic and can also equip bows and staves.
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. Rosa and Porom also return.
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 staves, and her Limit Breaks heal and buff the party. Also, she is the owner of the White Materia, the sole source of the ultimate White Magic spell, Holy.
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 berserked or using Mug.
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 role is 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 XIII-2
Medic reappears in the sequel with new abilities which are exclusive to Paradigm Pack allies: Cheer, and Esunada. Noel Kreiss can learn all the abilities available to party, but is rather bad Medic due to his rather low Magic, and Serah Farron is favored by most players as a Medic despite her lack of Cura and Curaja abilities due to her Magic being higher than Noel's.
Serah also has a costume as part of the game's downloadable content which is based on the concept of a white mage.
Final Fantasy XIV
As of patch 1.21, Conjurers who meet certain requirements can obtain a Soul of the White Mage, allowing them to switch between both Class and Job at will. As a White Mage one is able to use advanced healing spells and abilities like Regen and Benediction while losing access to abilities from various other classes, like Thaumaturge.
The Artifact Equipment includes the traditional red-trimmed white robe with the hood down, much like White Wizard in the original Final Fantasy.
Final Fantasy Type-0
Class Seven is attributed to teaching white magic. Rem Tokimiya was formerly a student of Class Seven, until she was transferred to Class Zero to assist in fighting against the Milites Empire. In addition, many of Deuce's melodies consist of white magic spells and properties.
