White Wind
“Restores own HP and the HP of all nearby party members by an amount equal to your current HP.
— In-game description
White Wind is an action unlocked at level 1. It is available for Blue Mage.
Flavor Text
White Wind imbues a localized current of air with purified aether, distributing its curative effects throughout the vicinity. Though powerful for such a simple spell, the purification of sufficient aether requires significant magical exertion on the part of the caster, and thus should be used sparingly.

Tips
Acquisition Tips
- The most common way of learning this spell is through the Whalaque totem. It is also an obscure drop from certain enemies (see Trivia section below).
- After obtaining the totem, you must use it in order to learn the White Wind spell.
Other Tips
- If you are mimicking a healer with Aetheric Mimicry, keep this only as a back-up healing spell if you have learned other healing spells, as it has a high MP cost and generates significant enmity.
- If you have Mighty Guard on (usually when you are the tank), White Wind is the most-effective way to gain enmity.
- Because it restores health equal to your current HP, it is much more effective if you have more max HP.
History
Patch 4.5 (2019-01-08): Added.
Trivia
- While possible, but not recommended, Enkidu in Battle in the Big Keep can drop the spell [1][2][3]
- Learning 10 Blue Magic Spells is a simpler way to learn White Wind than from Enkidu.
- Entering the trial with both Undersized Party and Level Sync selected does not guarantee the spell will be learned. This may be unintended behavior, as this is the only spell known to behave this way.
- White Flame from Deltascape V3.0 (Savage) is another obscure source.[4]
- Learning 10 Blue Magic Spells is a simpler way to learn White Wind than from White Flame.
- Like White Wind from Enkidu, entering the trial with both Undersized Party and Level Sync selected does not guarantee the spell will be learned.
