It can also be bestowed by several Feral Links; Buccaboo Ace's Spirit Infusion, Circuitron and Cloudburst's Friendly Fire, Nabaat's Sadistic Surge (depending on Paradigm Pack's role composition), Gahongas and Yakshini's Fanatical Dance, and Mewmao's Precious Prayer.
====Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII====
Faith raises Magic by 50%.
===Final Fantasy Tactics===
While under Faith, a unit is treated as if they have maximum (100) Faith points without inflicting the consequence of raising the permanent Faith statistic too high, which would cause the unit to leave party after the fight. This can be positive or negative as it raises spellcasting ability, but also raises the effect of spells cast on that unit. The opposite of the status Faith is Atheist. Faith lasts for 32 ticks.
The Mystic's Belief and Templar's Faith can grant this status, and the Rod of Faith weapon will grant the unit Auto-Faith status.
===Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light===
Several abilities give a boost to a character's magic power. The Musician's Nocturne boosts magic power for three turns, the spell Magick works similarly, and the spell Lux gives the status permanently. The Black Mage's abilities also raise magic power in a similar fashion, but they only work for one turn. The boost effect does not stack.
