Health and mana can also be restored by picking up orbs, known as 'glims' a golden glim restores all health, and enables the powerful 'Miracle Move', which may deal significant damage to enemies or provide assistance to allies. Should a party member lose health or mana points, they can be restored by using provisions. Health is lost when players are attacked by enemies, while mana points are depleted through the use of magic. When a specific amount of experience is earned, characters' levels will increase, and their abilities will improve. When all enemies in a battle are defeated, players may receive experience points, currency and items. Familiars level up and evolve alongside the human characters each familiar has unique statistics and capabilities, and can be upgraded through the use of treats, and equipped with items. Familiars are creatures that can be tamed, in order to be suitable to send out in battle to fight for players.

To fight enemies, players use magical abilities and 'familiars'. During battles, players command a single human ally, or one of the familiars accompanying them all characters and familiars are manually moved around the battlefield. Battles take place on an open battlefield, allowing players to freely roam around the area.

When players encounter enemies, they enter a battle system. The world may be fully explored from the beginning of the game without restrictions, although story progress unlocks more gameplay content and forms of transport to navigate the world: players initially run to navigate the world, though later gain the ability to travel by boat, or on the back of a dragon. Upon leaving a location, players enter the World Map, which can be used to select a destination. Players explore towns, villages, dungeons and dangerous places scattered throughout the world, and possess the ability to travel between the world and Oliver's hometown of Motorville.

Outside of quests, players can freely roam the overworld. Players complete quests-linear scenarios with set objectives-to progress through the story. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a role-playing game that uses a third-person perspective.
