This is my first RP character, and I've yet to RP her because I have a limited understanding of the lore (and the game!). Currently she is a level 45 White Mage, and I do wish to RP her as a healer but I'm not sure how healing works in this game.Â
Firstly, she is Au Ra so I'm not sure if that affects anything. Secondly, she's an herbalist and naturopath, so she often uses natural treatments/remedies instead of 'magics' (for lack of a better word). She's not young, approximately 35 if human years/aging is equivalent to that of Au Ra. So, she's not inexperienced and she has been an independent healer for nearly two decades.

So, my questions are 1) Are there specific plants in lore that she should be using for her herbs, or are the earth plants acceptable? Â 2) How do healing magics work? I do plan on leveling all the healing classes but am focused on WHM for now. Do they manipulate Aether? Or is it some form of primal powers? Or is it something else? Â

Any help/advice would be wonderful, either in general or specific. I want to join an FC but before I do the intro RP I want to have a firm grasp on the abilities and limitations of my healer. I don't retcon so I really can't afford to make a big mistake in RP.Â

Thanks for your help!
