Final Fantasy/White magic
From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki
The most obvious, and useful, white magic is the cure and heal families. These and the Life spells will probably be used more than all other spells combined. Not only are white mages/wizards fantastic curers, they are also more effective against the undead than any other class. In addition to the Dia family of spells, cure/heal will damage the undead, and life spells will kill them in a single cast. The white wizard is the only character than can use holy, a white spell that is one of the most powerful spells in the game, against the living and undead.

Spells
Many mid and high levels spells are not unique, but are improved versions of low levels spells. Each "family" of spells usually contains three versions, though some have two or four.
- Cure family: Restores large amounts of HP to one character
- Heal family: Restores small amounts of HP to the entire party at once
- Life family: Revives a dead character
- Dia family: Damages the undead, ineffective against the living/inanimate
- Null family: Prevents damage by one type of element, death spells, or all elements
- Shield family: Raises defense
There are several other spells that do not belong in a specific family, but tend to be focused on boosting the party's stats or removing status ailments. The exception is Holy, which is a very powerful offensive spell.
