Final Fantasy IV/White magic

From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki
Nintendo DS

As Square-Enix has released both Final Fantasy IV Advance and DS, the spell names have changed. Please see Final Fantasy IV/Nintendo DS changes for the name changes.

Also, three spells missing from the US version were reintroduced: Protect, Shell and Dispel.

White magic users:

  • Cecil (Paladin)
  • Rydia (Summoner, child)
  • Rosa (White mage)
  • Porom (White mage)
  • Tellah (Sage; initially he uses random spells, later he learns most white & black magic at once)
  • Fusoya (Lunarian; starts with all white & black magic, but has low MP)

Spell types:

  • Field: spells that can be used outside battle;
  • Support: battle spells that target the allies;
  • Disable: battle spells that target the enemies but deal no damage;
  • Attack: battle spells that damage the enemies.
