Just like in most of the other FF games, there is White Magic in FFX. But, the Summoner in your party is not the only person that can learn White Magic and does not learn new abilities using items. She (Yuna) will gain new abilities with the Sphere Grid. Other party members can learn magic abilities by going on Yuna's part of the Sphere Grid.
