As with [[Black Magic]], there are three factors that determine whether a power is [[Light Is Good|White]] Magic or not.
* '''Source:''' If it's [[Bargain With Heaven|gained]] from [[God]] ([[Crystal Dragon Jesus|or the local equivalent]]), a [[Council of Angels]], [[The Force]], [[The Lifestream]], [[Sealed Good in A Can]], or some form of [[Saintly Church|truly benevolent]] [[Religion Is Magic|spirituality or religion]], it's almost always White Magic. Other sources can include channeling the power of [[The Power of Love|love]], [[The Power of Friendship|friendship]], or "positive energy." This [[Light Is Good|sometimes]] but [[Light Is Not Good|not always]] includes [[Elemental Rock
* '''Cost:''' What is required to make the magic work. Whereas Black Magic may require sacrificing others for fuel, White Magic may instead require personal sacrifices from the practitioner herself. If any sacrifices from others are ever necessary, these will generally have to be completely voluntary (ie: they weren't coerced into doing it) and usually altruistic and "pure" in motive. [[Eye of Newt]] may be difficult to obtain, but will not require any actual evil. But [[Your Mileage May Vary]] if you ask the newt what it thinks of giving an eye for the spell.
* '''Effect:''' The magic is directly constructed for the blessing, protection, [[Healing Hands|cure]], and/or promotion of the general welfare of others. [[Holy Hand Grenade|Offensive uses]] may be reserved for evil creatures such as demons or [[Turn Undead|undead]], by way of [[Revive Kills Zombie]].
Line 24:
See also: [[The Medic]], whose [[Healing Hands]] are often a result of [[White Magic]]. [[White Mage]], who is sometimes powered by White Magic. [[Black Mage]], who is the opposite in gameplay terms. [[Protective Charm]] is also generally [[White Magic]].
