White Wind

White Wind ( or ), also known as WhiteWind and Pearl Wind, is a recurring Blue Magic spell and enemy ability. It restores HP based on the amount the caster has, and in some titles, also heals negative statuses.
== Appearances ==
=== Final Fantasy V ===
White Wind is a Blue Magic spell, which heals the entire party by an amount equal to the caster's current HP, making it a useful healing spell in some situations, but useless if the caster is low on health. It ignores reflect and undead statuses, so it is one of the few ways of healing a party member equipped with the Reflect Ring or Bone Mail.
White Wind costs 28 MP to cast and is learned from Enchanted Fan, Azulmagia, Dark Elemental, Enkidu, White Flame, and Hellraiser (only when controlled by a Beastmaster).
The player can also use White Wind by catching and releasing a Hellraiser, Parthenope, White Flame, or Necromancer.
=== Final Fantasy VI ===
Strago learns White Wind (Pearl Wind on the SNES) as a Lore that costs 45 MP to cast and restores HP to party equal to Strago's HP. The spell is learned from Curlax, Dark Force, Kamui (only when Controlled), Lady, Marchosias, Peeper, Sprinter, Storm Dragon (only when sketched), Vector Lythos (only when Raged, sketched or controlled) and Venobennu.
=== Final Fantasy VII ===
White Wind can be learned as an Enemy Skill from Zemzelett by manipulating it. The Wind Wing also uses the skill, but as it can't be manipulated, and the player can only obtain the Enemy Skill by confusing it.
White Wind heals all allies to an amount equal to the caster's current HP, and also cures Sleep, Poison, Confusion, Silence, Slow, Stop, Frog, Small, Slow-numb, Petrify, Berserk, Paralyzed, Darkness, Death Force and Resist.
The game considers the ability a physical attack, and it thus also cures Manipulate. The spell's HP and status healing effects are reversed on undead targets, damaging them and inflicting them with myriad statuses, often ending the battle right away when the enemy is petrified. White Wind costs 34 MP. It bypasses MBarrier and Reflect. Provided the caster has a large HP reservoir, White Wind can be more useful than the Restore Materia.
=== Final Fantasy VIII ===

Quistis can learn White Wind from the Whisper item that can be mugged from Adamantoises (commonly encountered at Long Horn Island north of Dollet). It restores HP to the party equal to Quistis's max HP minus her current HP and does not change depending on Crisis Level. It will damage the party if they have Zombie.
Adamantoises also use the ability on themselves when fought as enemies.
=== Final Fantasy IX ===
White Wind is used by Quina, healing 1/3 of Quina's max HP to all party members. It is learned by eating a Garuda, Griffin, Zemzelett, or Zuu. It costs 14 MP to cast. It can't be reflected and works with Return Magic.

White Wind is used by a Gun Mage's Blue Bullet, restoring 1/8 of max HP to the party as well as removing Sleep, Silence, Darkness, Poison, Confusion, and Berserk for the cost of 16 MP.

Equipping a captured creature with the Gun Mage dressphere will automatically grant them access to White Wind. It is also normally usable by Coeurl, Queen Coeurl, Bully Cap, Mycotoxin, and Big Bully Cap. Kimahri can learn it if he is healed in battle. However, White Wind cannot be learned as a Blue Bullet this way.
