White Mage (白魔道士 or 白魔道師, Shiromadoushi?, lit. "White Magic Adherent") is a Job class in the Final Fantasy series, and is featured in several installments. It is among the first Job classes introduced in the series.
Profile
Edit
The White Mage's equipment includes staves and maces (as well as hammers in the original Final Fantasy), but in later installments they use more commonly used magical rods instead. Their armor, like most mages, is limited to lightweight vests and mage robes. Their physical stats are usually higher than those of a Black Mage, but are not as high as some other classes. Their magic stats, of course, are high.
The most prominent ability of a White Mage is to cast White Magic, which usually includes healing and support magic, but may also include status spells. In later installments, the White Mages have been given the ability Pray, in which the party's HP would be minimally restored for no cost. Their ability to heal, protect, and resurrect fallen members of the party make White Mages invaluable, as they are usually the only efficient way of healing.
White Mages tend to dress in white robes with red triangular lining. They tend to lean towards lighter armor, generally robes, and their robes are trimmed with red triangles that usually flare out from cuffs, around hems, or on the lining of the hood if they wear one. Most White Mages are female, but some males have been White Mages as well. Male White Mages generally do not wear hoods. Sometimes Summoners are also able to cast White Magic. The recurring White Robe and Cat-Ear Hood are related to this job. In virtually all games the White Mage has one offensive attack, called Holy.
