Ability White Magic FFIVPSP

Casts white magic.

PSP description

White Magic (しろまほう, Shiro Mahō?), also called White, is an ability in Final Fantasy IV used by Paladin Cecil, Rosa, Porom, child Rydia, Tellah, and Fusoya. White Magic is the counterpart to Black Magic, which focuses on harming opponents. White Magic contains healing spells, status-altering spells, a spell to escape battles/dungeons, and one damaging spell. The White Magic command's charge time varies, depending on the spell the player selects to cast. Fusoya knows all White Magic spells, while Tellah eventually learns all of them bar Holy via a story event.

In the Easy Type version, casting times for the majority of spells were reduced from their original casting time. Lightbringer, introduced in the Game Boy Advance version, has the ability to randomly cast the Holy spell. It is randomly activated when using the Attack command when Cecil is equipped with it. In the 3D versions, the Dualcast Augment allows two White Magic spells to be cast in one turn.

Item magic[]

In the 3D versions, Heal, Basuna, and Poisona were reclassified into White Magic spells. Most spells are used via the White Magic command, but some spells can be used via the Items command. Item magic is cast by using specific weapons from the Item menu during battle. The weapon must be equipped, and unlike magic used via the White Magic command, item magic spells do not cost MP. All spells can be reflected.

The spell names for item magic are hidden, as when the player uses an item, the name used will be that of the name of the item which overrides the spell's name. Item magic can be used even if the user is silenced. In the 3D versions, item magic's power increases and decreases with the modification of the Spirit stat.

Etymology[]

White magic has traditionally referred to the use of supernatural powers or magic for good and selfless purposes. With respect to the philosophy of left-hand path and right-hand path, white magic is the benevolent counterpart of malicious black magic. Because of its ties to traditional pagan nature worship, white magic is often also referred to as "natural magic".
