White Magick (Tactics)

White mage job command. Enables the use of healing and support magicks in battle.

Description

White Magick (白魔法, Shiro Mahō?), also known as White Magic in the PlayStation version, is the action ability of the White Mage job in Final Fantasy Tactics. It contains healing and defensive magicks. In the PlayStation version White Mage has a chance of doing a chant when casting a spell, but in the War of the Lions remake these were removed.

After being learned in the White Magick skillset, the spells can also be used by Arithmetician's Arithmeticks skills.

White Magick

Mechanics

The amount of healing and damage done by White Magicks is as follows:

$Magick Attack \times PWR \times (Faith/100) \times (Target Faith/100)$

The success rate of status spells are as follows:

$(Magick Attack + PWR) \times (Faith/100) \times (Target Faith/100)$

Against undead targets, curative magicks deal damage, Arise works as an instant KO attack, and Raise does damage equal to half of the target's max HP.

Curaja has a 40% chance of being randomly learned in battle if cast on a White Mage that has not learned the spell yet and is healed at least 1 HP. Protectja and Shellja have a 10% chance of being randomly learned in battle if cast on a White Mage that has not learned the spell yet and is inflicted with the status effect.

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]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".

[view · edit · purge]Magick is an Early Modern English spelling for magic. Magick, in the context of Aleister Crowley's Thelema, is a term used to differentiate the occult from stage magic and is defined as "the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will", including both "mundane" acts of will as well as ritual magic.
