Wht Mag (Final Fantasy IX)

Wht Mag is a skillset in Final Fantasy IX for Dagger and Eiko ( in Beatrix's case). The spells focus on healing and support with a single damaging spell, Holy, and some offensive status-inflicting spells. Of the two permanent party members, Eiko is more geared toward White Magic than Dagger, who is more focused on summon magic.
Using White Magic 200 times yields the A Healing Touch achievement in the mobile and Steam versions.
==Mechanics==
For Dagger and Eiko the spells are learned from equipment by amassing Ability Points during battle. Beatrix has a fixed skillset.
Cure, Cura, and Curaga ignore target's Magic Defense when determining heal amount, which is determined by the caster's Level and Magic stat, and if the caster has Concentrate is equipped. Shell, multi-targeting the spell, and being under Mini halve the Bonus.
For revival spells, the revived ally's Spirit stat affects how much HP they wake up with, and if the spellcaster has Concentrate equipped.
The only damaging White Magic spell is Holy, whose damage is calculated the same way as Vivi's Black Magic: the higher Level and the more Magic Eiko has, the more damage she can do, and some equipment pieces can also strengthen Holy damage, making the spell even more potent.
Might, meanwhile, cumulatively increases the target's Strength till 99, upon when it will not increase further. The effect lasts for the entire battle, even if the character is KO'd and revived.
During Trance Eiko's Wht Mag turns into Dbl Wht where she can cast two spells in succession, each expending MP and the Trance gauge independently, although sometimes enemies can get a turn in-between the castings.
Wht Mag spells can be reflected and countered with Return Magic. With Reflect-Null, Dagger and Eiko can bypass targets' Reflect status with their White Magic.
Wht Mag command is sealed in Oeilvert. During the time Dagger is going through emotional turmoil, her Wht Mag command can fail. Beatrix uses Cure as a boss, but when she is temporarily playable she no longer has it.

==Other appearances==
White magic from Final Fantasy IX has since appeared in spin-off games to the series as abilities for Eiko and Dagger. In Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade, some of the Wht Mag spells appear, although not necessarily used by the same character as in Final Fantasy IX, e.g. Dagger can use Holy. White magic from Final Fantasy IX also appears in Final Fantasy Record Keeper.
