Time to cover the other side of the coin and discuss White Magic! Amdapor was a great nation and created an even greater spell school. I hope you all enjoy and look forward to future content I plan on uploading! A BIG welcome to the almost 100 extra subscribers I’ve gained in the passed couple weeks. I hope we can share what we learn together with entire servers one day!

So you’re saying I shouldn’t raise a Dark Knight that died because they used living dead poorly, and let the dead rest peacefully!? You’re the boss 😀
Lore video nice
Really like you videos, I hope you keep this kind of " in character storytelling" like a professor giving an intro to a lecture. I personally want to know what happened in the base game of ff14 and why certain locations are the way they are. Mor Dhona as an example. But of course I like the class videos as well.
I guess right now I just feel like I have an incomplete grasp of the lore and locations. Lots of names but not a lot of context to understand them
😀 learning all the things
The more I think about it, the more terrifying I find Late Stage Amdapori White Magic to be.
All of this is head canon for me:
To become so advanced in curative magic and aetherology, that you learn how to not inject life-restoring aether into people, but to instead pull that aether from them. Literally, taking the technique of Black Magic and White Magic’s ambient aether usage to include the very life of another. It’s the same horror of Bloodbending in the Avatar universe.
This is more head canon on my side, but I believe Holy is Light-aspected. And after playing Shadowbringers, I like to believe that Holy releases a dangerous burst of light-aspected aether which momentarily stagnates the target’s personal aether, “stunning” them.
I also imagine that White Mages’ Glare, Día, and Holy work by pacification. Each one fills the target’s aether with light until they become so stagnated that they can’t fight anymore. White Mages leave their enemies in a state worst than death.
Just some personal (non-canonical) thoughts!
You know a video is too good that as soon as I finish I’m looking for another one of yours to watch
"The dead should be left to rest"
Me: Hahaha, Raise go SHWIIIIIING! 😀
Others: y’all WHM should be more careful with your healing
Me: what’s that? I’m feeding my lily
holy 3 goes brr
Can you do monk next?
Perfection
Nice video! I came because I'm interested in why White Mages use magic that does damage, and this video helped. Hope you eventually make a video on Black Mages. :3
EDIT: Found your video on Black Mages. Don't know how I missed it. xD
"And the dead should be allowed to rest…"
My Res Macro says otherwise. 🙂 Though you COULD argue they were just "knocked out", my thinking is "That's a person that could be feeding my blood lily right now….."
Love these videos <3
My main Job <3
as white mage we only heal so we can kill
thank you, this was really interesting ^.^
You did my favourite job far more justice than the game itself did
I'm so glad and proud I picked white mage as my first Job in FFXIV, and I can't wait to be a sage in Endwalker
I was wondering why there were so many ARR creatures in ShB
So that's why Stone and Aero turn into Glare and Dia.
Can you make one for bards :<
a modern White Mage never uses more aether than necessry.
