White Mage (Tactics)

Template:Sideicon

White Mage (白魔道士, Shiromadōshi?), also known as Priest, is a job from Final Fantasy Tactics. It is a defensive magickal job, able to heal and grant status enhancements to the party with White Magick. Though their charge times can pose a hindrance, especially compared to the Chemist's Items ability—which can use healing items with no wait time—the White Mage's ability to heal groups and at range gives them more tactical variation in spite of their limitations. It costs 6,360 JP to master this job. The War of the Lions remake saw small JP increases in a few of the White Mage's spells, increasing the required JP to 7,070.

Leveling this job up to level 3 unlocks the Mystic, while leveling it up to level 5 along with Black Mage, Time Mage, and Mystic unlocks Arithmetician.

Abilities

White Magicks/White Magic

White mage job command. Enables the use of healing and support magicks in battle.

The amount of healing and damage done by White Magicks is as follows:

Magick Attack x PWR x (Faith/100) x (Target Faith/100)

The success rate of status spells are as follows:

(Magick Attack + PWR) x (Faith/100) x (Target Faith/100)

Against undead targets, Cure magicks deal damage, Arise works as an instant KO attack, and Raise does damage equal to half of the target's max HP.

Curaja has a 40% chance of being randomly learned in battle if cast on a White Mage that has not learned the spell yet and is healed at least 1 HP. Protectja and Shellja have a 10% chance of being randomly learned in battle if cast on a White Mage that has not learned the spell yet and is inflicted with the status effect.
