There's always an issue with a character background story when it involves either rewriting history, or paragraphs of explanation just to seem remotely possible. Â When you hit that point where you're questioning your own characters validity and needing to ask publicly what to do/fix it you need to ask yourself.
"Is this needed, and does it matter?"
Does having this large and elaborate story affect or add to your character in any noticeable way? Â Is it necessary to have this or else the character personality or concept just cannot work? Â Is there not a simpler way to achieve that same goal?
If you answered "No" to any of those questions, and you're still questioning your character's validity; then it may be time to drop and rewrite it, keeping it simple.

Yours is particularly troubling because it relies on a lot of unexplained or vague aspects coupled with amnesia. Â Meaning your character will either be forever locked in an amnesiac state (making your background worthless) or runs the risk of having Square Enix contradict and annihilate your entire background in a single patch note.
I'd honestly rewrite it to be more generic and vague, or drop the concept of being a White Mage at all. Â A amnesiac conjurer found in the Shroud not only fits directly into lore without any additional work; it also keeps a lot more avenues open for progress that don't carry the caveat of being obsoleted instantly or questioned constantly.
