White Mage
Introduction
“White magic, the arcane art of succor, was conceived eras past that the world might know comfort. Alas, man began perverting its powers for self-gain, and by his wickedness brought about the Sixth Umbral catastrophe. Although the art subsequently became forbidden, it is now in the midst of a revival at the hands of the Padjal, chosen of the elementals. Those who would walk the path of the white mage are healers without peer, possessed of the power to deliver comrades from the direst of afflictions—even the icy grip of death itself.
White Mage (WHM) is a job unlockable at level 30 as an upgrade from the conjurer class and is one of four Healer jobs. It is considered a "pure" healer, along with astrologian, specializing in strong burst healing and healing-over-time.

Lore
White magic, the arcane art of succor , was conceived eras past that the world might know comfort. Alas, man began perverting its powers for self - gain, and by his wickedness brought about the Sixth Umbral catastrophe. Although the art was subsequently forbidden, it is now in the midst of a revival at the hands of the Padjal, chosen of the elementals.
History
The mages of Amdapor devised this arcane art during the Fifth Astral Era to counter the destructive black magic of Mhachi sorcerers. Focusing heavily upon spells of restoration and purification, the practice of white magic led to great advances in Amdapori society. Intoxicated by their newfound power, however, the magi surrendered prudence to ambition. They created ever more potent magicks to wield in their conflict with Mhach—the infamous War of the Magi—until the clash of eldritch energies upset the very balance of nature. The warped aether manifested as great floods, and the realm was drowned by what is now known as the Sixth Umbral Calamity.
Both cities were lost, and the magicks that brought about the catastrophe thenceforth adjudged dangerous and forbidden. The ruins of Amdapor were swallowed by the forest—the fallen city and its secrets concealed by the elementals of the Twelveswood and it would be another thousand years before the art of white magic once more saw the light of day.
Some five centuries past, the elementals relented, and did at last allow the legacy of the Amdapori magi to be wielded by a chosen few. The Padjal, revered leaders of Gridania, have since served as the stewards of white magic and oversee its careful instruction.
Equipment
Healer's Attire
A raiment reserved for the rite of Quieting. Bestowed by the holy hands of Raya-O-Senna herself, this garb has been imbued with the blessings of A-Towa-Cant by means of a stately pilgrimage to three of his resting places.
Thyrus
The great staff of House Can't, passed down through the family line for generations. Carved from a log of petrified wood, this mighty relic accompanied A-Towa-Cant on his final journey and was long thought lost along with its wielder.
Orison Attire
Purchased from an antique store in Ul'dah, it is claimed that this healer’s ensemble was recovered from a stone coffin of indeterminate origin. An evaluation by a respected collector, however, later identified the attire as the same as that worn by high-ranking magi of the ancient Amdapori civilization. Estimated to be more than fifteen hundred years old, the material exhibits no sign of degradation, its pristine state attributed to the magically sealed sarcophagus within which it was stored. The cloth is extraordinarily light and smooth, but the method by which it was created is a mystery that confounds even the most accomplished weavers.
Seraph Cane
Unearthed in the ruins of Amdapor, the head of this mage’s staff is adorned with the carving of a delicate winged figure. Historians of the Fifth Astral Era identify the carving as the depiction of a heavenly guardian of mortals, a motif ubiquitous amongst the statuary of the fallen city. Combined with this exquisite attention to detail, the cane’s exceptional properties as an aetheric conduit suggest that it served as an arcane tool for a white mage of the highest standing.
Tricks of the Trade
- Pulse of Life: Drawing upon the aetherial reserves of every ally present, this potent incantation blossoms outwards from the white mage in a scintillating cloud of healing energies. The spell channels pure life force from the caster, reviving and restoring even those who have succumbed to fatal injury.
- Benediction: The beneficiary of this spell is instantaneously cured of all wounds. Rather than exhaust the caster’s own mana, Benediction gathers ambient aether and releases it in a single, concentrated burst of healing.
- Holy: This incandescent blast of purifying energies was devised by the white mages of Amdapor to combat the voidsent servants of Mhachi sorcerers. The battlefields of the War of the Magi were often illuminated by the spell's distinctive explosions.
- Asylum: Drawing upon ambient aether, this spell weaves a shimmering dome of restorative power within which even the most grievous of injuries will knit and heal. It is said that A-Towa-Cant developed the technique during his pilgrimage to provide swift succor to large groups of wounded.
A-Towa-Cant
A-Towa-Cant’s Padjali nature manifested soon after birth, and his proud Gridanian family willingly entrusted his upbringing to the conjurers of Stillglade Fane. A-Towa grew to become an accomplished Hearer but soon grew dissatisfied with the role—he realized that to truly protect the Twelveswood he must also cleanse the source of impurities found beyond the confines of the forest. Accompanied by his devout companions, A-Towa traveled far and wide, employing his mastery of white magic to purge corrupted aether, heal the sick, and salve the suffering. Ever consumed by wanderlust, the restless Padjal never returned to Gridania and eventually met his end in the distant lands of La Noscea.
Eschiva Keyes
- Race (Clan): Hyur (Midlander)
- Gender: Female
- Age: 23
- Epithet: Eschiva the Aetherial
Exhibiting heightened magical potential from a young age, Eschiva was encouraged to walk the path of conjury by friends and relatives. She quickly tired of her Padjal instructors’ stifling conservatism, however, and abandoned her arcane studies to become a lancer. Following in her beloved grandsire’s footsteps, Eschiva took to spears far more readily than spells and soon forged herself into one of the guild’s finest combatants. Eschiva’s grandfather had been a follower of A-Towa-Cant, and even after the Padjal’s passing, he continued to serve as a sentinel at one of the great mage’s places of rest. Once old age claimed her grandsire, Eschiva volunteered to shoulder his solemn duty.
The Elementals
The ephemeral guardian spirits of the Twelveswood. With bodies comprised entirely of aether, these entities are nevertheless possessed of intelligence and intent that can be sensed by those blessed with preternatural awareness. The elementals perceive the aether-draining nature of white magic as a direct threat to their existence, and for centuries did they seek to prevent its secrets from reentering the world.
The Padjal
The youthful and long-lived Padjal are not a race unto themselves, but rather are born rarely into certain Hyur families in the Twelveswood, the process of aging slowing to a crawl as they approach puberty. Naturally attuned to the whispers of the forest, these horned, childlike beings serve as a living link between man and elemental. The Padjal have a long history as the region’s healers and protectors, and as the chosen of the elementals are sanctioned in the use of white magic [1]
White Mage's Panoply
Seventh Heaven Circlet
While Amdapori white mages most often wore full hoods, metal hair ornaments and circlets like this one were also prevalent.
Seventh Heaven Top
Though this style retains the length of a traditional robe, such heavy use of mythril ornamentation is quite rare for white mage attire. Also unusual is the marked distinction between male and female versions.
Seventh Heaven Thighboots
These sturdy and formfitting boots were made for the battlefield, enabling the white mage to rush unencumbered to wherever she is needed most.
Form & Function
The tradition of wearing pure white robes accented with red originated with the white mages of Amdapor, making it nearly as old as white magic itself. Even then, white was a symbol of purity, whereas red, reminiscent of blood, was associated with the vitality of life. Together, the two colors were meant to represent a white mage’s duty: to cleanse and heal. The Amdapori took this seriously—only those who had endured intense training, been recognized by the Council of Magi for their ability, and been officially granted a soul crystal were permitted to wear the white and red.
Those who venture to the Twelveswood today will find that several of the Padjal wear the white mages colors, having adopted them after the elementals brought the long-lost secrets of white magic to light once more. In fact, wandering Padjal A-Towa-Cant and Seedseer A-Ruhn-Senna, both healers of great repute, are widely known for their affinity for Amdapori mage garb. [2]
