Description
Wht Magic (白魔法, Shiro Mahō?, lit. White Magic) is one of the four main commands in Final Fantasy X. Most of the abilities found in the Wht Magic command relate to healing, adding positive statuses to allies, and manipulating the time.
There are 22 abilities in the command.
Mechanics[]
All but six Wht Magic abilities are in Yuna's section of the Sphere Grid. Four Wht Magic abilities relating to time, including single and group cast spells for adding Haste and Slow, appear in Tidus's section. Scan is in Kimahri's section. In the Standard Sphere Grid, Full-Life is in Rikku's section, and in the Expert Sphere Grid, Auto-Life is in her section.
Under normal circumstances, Wht Magic abilities do not inflict damage except for Holy, a spell that inflicts Holy-elemental damage. The Holy element is not inflicted through any other player-cast ability, and an enemy's relation to that element does not show up with Sensor.
Healing spells have the following damage algorithm:
Damaging spells have the following damage algorithm:
Wht Magic cannot be doublecast.

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".
