Holy (element)

Holy (聖なる, Seinaru?), also known as Light (光, Hikari?), Sacred Power, Pearl, Mystic, and Spirit, is a recurring element in the Final Fantasy series. It is usually a counterpart of the Dark element and is a strong element against the Undead or enemies affiliated with the Dark element.

Recurring themes[]

Equipment[]

Many knightswords are affiliated with the Holy element, some examples being the recurring Excalibur, Save the Queen, and Lightbringer. In addition, some staves used by White Mages are imbued with the Holy element.

Spells and abilities[]

Depending on the title, the spells Banish and Dia serve as the recurring three tier holy magics. The most common spell affiliated to the holy element is the stronger Holy spell, occasionally being joined with its upgrades, Holyga and Holyja. The Holy spell serves as a main plot device in Final Fantasy VII.

The Final Fantasy series also includes some physical holy-elemental attacks. The Mystic Knight's Spellblade command has access to their variant of the Holy spell, allowing the user to imbue their base physical attacks with the holy element. Paladins and Knights have the physically oriented Holy Blade ability as their means of inflicting holy damage. In addition, the recurring Seraph Strike serves as a physical holy-elemental attack for mage-oriented jobs.

Summons[]

The holy element has had several recurring summons in the series, Alexander, Madeen, Carbuncle, and Lakshmi. Kirin, Seraph, Unicorn are also aligned with the element in some titles, but function as support summons and do not attack targets. Ultima, the High Seraph is the Holy Esper in Ivalice.

Title specific holy-elemental summons include the Mist Dragon in the 3D remake of Final Fantasy IV, the Light Spirit in Final Fantasy XI, and Ark in Final Fantasy Dimensions II.

Final Fantasy IV[]

Holy is referred to as the "Sacred Power" element in the SNES version due to censorship. In the original SNES version, equipping an armor resistant to the Dark element makes them weak against Holy and vice versa. This only applies to armor, since it doesn't affect monsters. The Advance version removes this behavior. In the 3D versions, Meteor and Twin Meteor are instead Non-elemental.

Final Fantasy VII[]

The Holy spell serves as a major plot device and therefore is not usable by the player. The only way to inflict Holy damage is through the Alexander Materia. In addition to summoning it, linking the Alexander Materia and an Elemental Materia onto a character's weapon will add the Holy element to attacks. This is the only way to make use of the Holy resistance of the Minerva Band and Ziedrich, as there is no Holy-elemental enemy ability. Few enemies are weak to Holy, many of them in the Cave of the Gi, which is visited before the player gets Alexander.

According to Cloud in the Beginner's Hall, the Holy element corresponds with calling upon the planet's power.

Final Fantasy VIII[]

Holy is the rarest element in Final Fantasy VIII, with few abilities associated with it: Holy spell, Alexander GF, and the Holy Stone battle item. The player can also use it via Elem-Atk-J with Holy junctioned to attack.

Final Fantasy IX[]

Holy is an element typically opposed to Shadow.

Final Fantasy X[]

Holy is a rare element, and Holy affinities are not shown when an enemy is scanned. However, in some cases it can be visible. Usually when using equipment with Sensor, a particular line of alignment (weak, resist, etc) will only show up if at least one element falls under it. However, if the enemy has an alignment to Holy, but doesn't have the same alignment to any other element, that line will still show up but appear blank. This only works with Sensor; as Scan always shows all lines regardless. There are only three ways the player can inflict Holy-elemental damage: the spell Holy and the items Blessed Gem and Purifying Salt.

Light is an element mostly associated with the kings of Lucis. It is possible to inflict Light damage with certain finishers from Armiger Unleashed or Ring of the Lucii's Holy, as well as a couple weapons (Durandal, Dominator, Radiant Lance, and Orichalcum). This element is especially effective against daemons, but all other enemies resist it. Omega absorbs it.

Vagrant Story[]

Light and Dark are an opposed pair.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles[]

Holy is an available spell, however, the spells require pairing Magicite in single-player, or casting multiple spells at once if in Multiplayer.

• Holy - inflicts major Holy damage; is required to materialize ghosts, removing their invincibility. In single-player, the player must fuse a stone of Fire, Thunder or Blizzard with Life, but Life must be last in the order or Slow is fused instead (items like the Blizzard Ring also suffice instead of a Magicite). In multiplayer, two players must cast the spells individually at almost the same time.
• Holyra - inflicts massive Holy damage and has a larger blast radius than Holy. This spell can only be used in Multiplayer because it requires three spells: an aforementioned element for Holy and two Life spells.

Final Fantasy Record Keeper[]

The Holy element appears and opposes the Dark element. Abilities using the element are primarily in White Magic spells and Knight abilities.

Abilities

The holy spells are slightly under-powered compared to their same-tier spells of other elements. For example, Dia is as powerful as a 1-Star black magic ability, Diara a 2, and so on. White magic damage can be increased by prioritizing the Mind stat when choosing gear and Record Materia. However, some Black Mages have Holy damage Unique Soul Breaks (and equipment having Shared Soul Breaks) that are based on Magic instead. Alexander deals holy damage and, like all Summons, deals Magic-based damage.

• Dia (2★ White Magic) - Deal light holy magic damage to one target.
• Diara (3★ White Magic) - Deal holy magic damage to one target.
• Diaga (4★ White Magic) - Deal heavy holy magic damage to one target.
• Alexander (4★ Summoning) - Deal two magic Holy attacks to all enemies.
• Banishing Strike (4★ Knight) - Deal physical holy damage to one target and Dispel it.
• Saint Cross (5★ Knight) - Deal two physical holy attacks to one target, removes all debuffs from the user and casts Regen.

All Cure spells can also deal Holy damage to undead foes, and the Raise and Arise spells may instantly KO them, excluding bosses. This excludes non-undead enemies vulnerable to Holy.

Weapons and armor

• Holy Rod (VI) - Adds small holy damage boost and changes a rod user's Soul Break.
• Platinum Shield (XII) - Adds small holy damage boost and changes Basch's Soul Break.

Record Materia

• Light's Wrath (Warrior of Light) - Attack deals Holy damage instead of non-elemental damage.
• Prayer of the Cetra (Aerith) - Deal slightly more damage with Holy abilities.
• Holy Knight's Sigil (Agrias) - Attack has a slight chance to deal Holy damage instead of non-elemental damage.

Final Fantasy Trading Card Game[]

Shine is one of the eight elemental attributes, and one of two special attributes along with Dark of which the player can only control up to two cards from at any time. Shine cards depict heroes of the series and have powerful abilities.

Etymology[]

Holy has been known as "Spirit". [view · edit · purge]The word spirit derives from Latin spiritus, "breath", has many meanings most relating to a non-corporeal substance contrasted with the material body. The word is often used metaphysically to refer to the consciousness or personality. The notions of a person's spirit and soul may overlap, as both are understood as surviving the bodily death in religion and occultism. "Spirit" can also have the sense of "ghost", i.e. a manifestation of a deceased person. The term may also refer to any incorporeal or immaterial being, such as demons or deities.
