White Mages are the direct opposite of Black Mages. Instead of using their magic to hurt, they use it to heal or protect. As such, most white mages are portrayed as females. They wear white robes trimmed with red trim and wield staffs. Like other mages, they tend to be weak in strength, and in their case, have very little offensive power. They offset this by supporting the party in defense. In recent games, weaker job classes have been supplemented by white mage skills, such as Archer, Paladin, and Summoner.

Similar Job Classes: Black Mage, Red Mage, Blue Mage, Paladin, Penelo (12RW)
