White Magic
The gentle art of healing light that mends wounds and shields the soul.
White Magic is a recurring magical discipline within the Final Fantasy series. It is defined by its focus on restoration, protection, and support, serving as a counterbalance to destructive forces. Practitioners channel this power to mend wounds, shield allies, and occasionally restore life. The art is often associated with light and healing, and its use has been a consistent element across the franchise's many entries.

Lore & Background
The source material does not provide specific lore about White Magic's origins, philosophy, or its connection to light deities or crystals.
