Currently, the (mostly) video game trope White Mage is covered mostly by The Medic. However, there is more to a white mage than just healing magic - they also tend to have buffs, debuffs, and sometimes positive and negative status effect magic. At late levels they tend to have a Holy Hand Grenade type offensive spell, too, and they often can take advantage of Revive Kills Zombie.

We have White Magic, but that's more about holy magic and is the counterpart to Black Magic (evil magic) rather than the trope popularized by Final Fantasy. We also have Staff Chick, but that's a little more specific, since it also has characterization requirements.

We have Black and White Magic, about the magic types, but Black Mage for the character type and no White Mage for the corresponding character type.

We also have Blue Mage (which is a redirect to Mega Manning that I think should stay that way as thats what a Blue Mage does.) and Red Mage along with Fantasy Character Classes.

Anyway I support.

I'm not sure Blue Mage is that common outside the Final Fantasy series, but that does help my point. Thanks.

I went ahead and YKTTWed it. This can probably be locked.
