White Magic
From Final Fantasy Wiki
White Magic is one of the three main types of |Magic in the Final Fantasy series. It focuses mainly on recovery and support magic, although there is usually some strategic magic in the skillset. In titles that feature the Job system, White Magic is commonly associated with the White Mage job class.
Over the course of the titles, White Magic spells have been interchanged with Black Magic, and in some recent Ivalice titles, a new school of magic known as Green Magick.
