White Magic is the
field or
practice of
magic which
primarily deals with
healing and
protection. White Magic
is commonly seen as the ultimate practice of
good, as
opposed to its opposite,
Black Magic, which is a more
dark or
sinister type of magic.
Typical users of white magic (especially within RPGs) include white mages,
priests, or clerics, and sometimes Paladins.
Final Fantasy was unique in that the only white spell
which had offensive properties was the spell Holy.
