Faerie
From Final Fantasy Wiki
Faerie (フェアリー Fearī), also known as Fairy, is one of the summons in Final Fantasy Tactics. It appears covered in its wings, and releases feathers onto the battlefield, healing allies within its range of effect. It is more helpful than Moogle and has a larger area of effect.
When summoned, the summoner will sometimes say, "Shiny crystal light, energize! Fairy!"
Obviously, the Faerie is based off a fairytale fairy, only with the wings of a bird instead of a dragonfly's or a butterfly's. Also, mythical fairies were often associated with dark sorcery and evil witchcraft, and putting curses on humans, especially so in Sleeping Beauty.
It costs 28 MP to cast, has a speed of 25, and needs 460 JP to learn.
[edit] Trivia
- Faerie does not appear as a summon in Final Fantasy XI, but Fairies do appear in the Wings of the Goddess expansion as friendly mobs who heal Player Characters in campaign battles. Oddly, Fairies can be attacked by players. Fairy is also the name of a server.
