Priests who use white magic to heal and protect allies.

Description

Template:See Also The White Mage is a job in Final Fantasy V, obtained after the Wind Crystal shatters. The White Mage is the first job to focus primarily on healing and support. The White Mage has less Magic Power than the Black Mage and Summoner, nor can he or she equip the power of elements outside of Holy with a rare staff as they are unable to equip rods or knives without Equipment Abilities. Nonetheless, White Mages are useful in keeping units alive and healthy during tough battles.

Mastering White Mage for all four characters in the iOS version earns the player the achievement "Master of White Magic".

Appearance

Template:PseudoImage The White Mage attire is that of a traditional White Mage from the series, a white robe with a red trim. Bartz and Galuf wear their hoods down. Lenna and Faris wear their hoods up. Krile wears the famous uniform shared by Final Fantasy III's Devout & Final Fantasy Tactics A2's Seer.

Abilities

• Job Command - White Magic
• Innate Abilities - None
• Equipment - Staves, Hats, Robes, Armlets.

White Magic is all about healing the party and granting positive status effects. The only offensive spell the White Mage gets is the late-game Holy spell.

Of note, White Magic abilities give characters the White Mage's base Magic based on the following formula:

• Magic = White Mage Base Magic - 2 * (6 - White Mage Job Level)

However, the value of the base Magic granted in this way is capped at the White Mage's base.

Thus the base Magic stat for a character with White Magic equipped would be as follows:

• Level 1 = 39 base Magic
• Level 2 = 41 base Magic
• Level 3 = 43 base Magic
• Level 4 = 45 base Magic
• Level 5 = 47 base Magic
• Level 6 = 49 base Magic
• Level 7 = 49 base Magic

Upon mastery, Freelancers and Mimes gain the White Mage's base Magic unless they already have a higher base from another mastered job.

The base stats for White Mages are:

• Strength: 17
• Agility: 25
• Stamina: 24
• Magic: 49

Trivia

• The White Mage attire is an indication that Faris is female, before the party even finds out, as she wears her robes the same way Lenna does. This also applies to the Black Mage job.
