A: You, the Warrior of Light, are the one and only chosen to do this. (Oda:Â There are other ways of getting white magic. There are other groups trying to revive white magic using nefarious means.)
(Emphasis mine.)
Interesting...
...though the implications for PC White Mages are rather more complex now.
Alas that the archive of the stream is only available to those who want to pay.
So if there's officially other ways of getting white magic, my character finding a soul stone in The Sunken Temple of Qarn (Which was from the 6th era, when white and black mages were pretty common), fits the lore after all. She just got the white magic seperate from the main story. Works for me!
Ah but this here is from this websites wiki:
Fifth Astral Era
1500 (YA)
- Grand Companies come together to prepare for the Sixth Umbral Era.
- Many White Mages abuse their power and the art begins to die out.
Sixth Umbral Era
Element: Water
1500 (YA)
- A Great Flood submerges and damages many parts of Eorzea. Possibly caused by the Archons.
- Shatotto, a very talented thaumaturge, casts Meteor to bring down a 'Star' and uses the fragments to create the first Stardust Rod.
So it is still possible for the last remaining white mage to of left a soul stone in the temple. They didn't just dye out over night. If anything the Fifth Astral Era, and Sixth Umbral Era, began in the same year. It only said that the art Begins to die out. So it is still possible to find such a treasure within them ruins I would believe.
