First off, with the magic admin hat on, the mods and I will be watching this thread. Please don't let it explode as many of these have in the past.

With the magic admin hat off, the alternative ways to learn white magic were confirmed at the lore panel in the Las Vegas Fan Fest. Apparently, some group or groups are trying to revive the art through "nefarious means." We have no additional specifics at this time, so I would be very careful about going down that road. From that same lore panel, we also know that the Adventurer is the only one who's learned White Magic in the manner portrayed in the MSQ, which one could also interpret as the Adventurer being the only non-Padjal who's gotten to learn it since the Art was sealed.
So, where you go from there depends on how you interpret those two lore tidbits and what your opinion is on the power of the Elementals these days to control the use of Succor. Since there's wide opinions on the matter, it's a very polarizing issue. If you were to come up with a plausible way you could learn it, it does, however, make sense that you'd keep that quiet -- since the Padjali, the remaining powerful Elementals, and gods know who else have a vested interest in ensuring that the Art doesn't spread.
As for the clothing and weapons, those are easy. Just say they're replicas and be done with it. The devs have indicated that Rowena's House of Splendors has a massive business in creating replica equipment, so that gives you an easy out. The magicks themselves can be handwaved to some degree as spells that look superficially similiar to those ancient powers, but are actually something different.
