White Magic (The 4 Heroes of Light)

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.
