White magic draws its power from the spellcaster's Spirit.

Man in Guera

White Magic (しろまほう, Shiro Mahō?) is a group of spells in Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light that are used by equipping Tomes bought from various shops and found as treasures. White Magic performs three tasks: restores HP, boosts the party's attributes, and removes 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 Berserk, Magick, Protect, Shell, Regen, and Aura, in addition to a 50% boost to the party's HP. The effects do 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.

  1. Bugged and grants no Physical Evasion at all. (Unable to verify if Magic Evasion is given any boost, as it requires arduous work to test it out in practice.)
  2. This is despite Lux not granting any boost to Physical Evasion at all. Probably a replication of the same bug affecting Invisible.
  3. This is despite Lux not granting any boost to Physical Evasion at all. Probably a replication of the same bug affecting Invisible.

Etymology[]

White magic has traditionally referred to the use of supernatural powers or magic for good and selfless purposes. With respect to the philosophy of left-hand path and right-hand path, white magic is the benevolent counterpart of malicious black magic. Because of its ties to traditional pagan nature worship, white magic is often also referred to as "natural magic".
