Raise is a White Magick, its License being White Magick 3 which requires 30 License Points to unlock.

Surprisingly, Raise is the superior method of inflicting instant death on the undead over Arise (35%) and Renew (0%).

Casting Raise will increase massive amount of Enmity of surrounding enemies, endangering the magic user after reviving an ally. Instead of applying the status Lure, casting Raise on the enemy by tank periodically is a better way to attract enemy fire because the ability Decoy has worse base success rate and short effect duration.

HP restored with Raise = 0.4 x target's max HP

In the International version, Raise is White Magick 4. It can be used by five job classes, three of which by obtaining other licenses. White Mage and Red Mage can acquire Raise on their License Boards, Time Mage must have the Esper Adrammelech license, Monk must have the Esper Hashmal, and Archer must acquire a preceding Quickening license.

Raise is learned by advancing in the Medic role in the Crystarium, It can be learned by Lightning and Vanille at Crystarium Stage 6, by Fang at Stage 7, and Hope at Stage 8. Raise uses three ATB segments and revives a KOed character with a small amount of HP.

If a character is knocked out, the computer-controlled Medic will cast Raise only if other characters have greater than 50% HP. However, if the lead character is knocked out, the game ends then and there, no exception. Lightning has a weapon with the Improved Raise ability, which allows Lightning to restore more HP to an ally when using the ability.

The standard HP amount restored by Raise is 18% of max HP, however, the Medic role bonus can boost it.

Bonus Raise recovers % of max HP
20% 21%
23-26% 22%
29-33% 23%
35-38% 24%
39-44% 25%
45-49% 26%
52% 27%

Not only does it bring a character back to life at full health, but it is essentially a combination of the Cure and Heal Abilities when used on a living party member, fully restoring their HP and curing status ailments.
