 '''Faith''' appears as a [[Deck Command]] exclusive to [[Ventus]].  It releases a circle of lasers similar to those employed by [[Roxas]] that annihilate nearby enemies and restore his health all at once.  He additionally possesses the Deck Command [[Salvation]], which appears to draw upon this same power to both attack and heal at once.

 ===Etymology===
-The word ''holy'' is of Old English origin and survives largely-unchanged from the Middle Ages with regard to pronunciation.  In other Germanic languages, the word appears as ''heilig'' in both German and Dutch, and as ''helga'' in Swedish.
+The word ''holy'' is of Old English origin and survives largely-unchanged from the Middle Ages with regard to pronunciation.  It is ultimately derived from Old English ''halig'', which has a pronunciation very similar to its modern equivalent and which, prior to the Christianisation of the English-speaking peoples, meant "that which must be preserved intact".  In other Germanic languages, the word appears as ''heilig'' in both German and Dutch, and as ''helga'' in Swedish.
 Both ''faith'' and ''pearl'' have French roots and entered the English language after the Norman Conquest.  ''Faith'', spelled ''feid'' at the time, has the modern French cognate ''foi'', while Pearl has survived generally-unchanged in French as ''perle''.

+*''Holy'' is one of several spells that appear recurringly in spinoff games that are not castable in main-sequence games.  Other such spells include [[Quake]], [[Warp]], [[Raging Storm]], [[Mega-Flare]], and [[Tornado]].
+*Although it often has an attribute of its own in ''Final Fantasy'' titles, Holy has no attribute in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series.

-*The French equivalent is called [[Fr:Sidéral|Sidéral]], which has the English equivalent ''sidereal'', and which relates the spell to starlight rather than to holy light.
+*[[Holy-G]]
-*The use of ''Pearl'' may have been the result of a creative mistranslation based upon the spell's animation in the game in which it appeared under that name, in which it summoned three pearls of light that descended and exploded to damage an enemy.  The spell ''White Wind'' is called ''Pearl Wind'' in this version of the game as well.  It may also have been a misrepresentation of the English word ''pure''.
