RW Healing Symbol

Restorative, also known as Recovery (回復, Kaifuku?), Healing, and Zombie, is an element in several games in the series, that is usually associated with either healing or reviving abilities, such as Raise or Cure.

It differs from the Holy element as the Holy element damages enemies and does extra damage on undead and demon enemies while Cure will restore HP to allies and enemies but do damage (often matching) to undead and demon enemies.

Recovery is considered an element, separate from the Holy element. In addition to the table blow, the Queen Lamia is weak to the element itself while several monsters are resistant to it (such as the Silenus and Valefor.

Final Fantasy VII[]

Restorative is an element, referred to as "Restorative magic" when using Sense on the enemy if they are affected by it. It is unique among other elements as it is the only one that does not deal damage by default, instead it restores HP. Therefore absorbing the element will instead do damage on the enemy, a trait which many of the undead enemies have.
