White Magic (The 4 Heroes of Light)

White Magic is a group of spells in Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light that are used by equipping Tomes bought from various shops. White Magic performs three tasks: restore HP, boost the party's attributes, and remove negative status effects.

When the player obtains the Lux Tome, it becomes a must-use spell in every boss battle. When casting Lux, it has the benefice of Magick, Berserk, Shell, Regen, and Aura in addition to a 50% boost to their HP. The effects of Lux does not stack with those separate spells' effects, so the player should not waste inventory space on those Tomes once they get the Lux Tome. All White Magic spells are incompatible in joint attacks.
