Conjury, on the other hand, is not completely a healing magic. It is first and foremost a manipulation of nature - all of her aspects. While design changes made by the Battle Team in 1.20 that carried over into 2.0 have brushed the original lore deep under the rug, the Conjurers originally possessed a mastery over all six elements that composed the Elemental Wheel as described in Essences and Permutations - A Treatise of the Six Elements. Conjurers were capable of incredible destructive feats of elemental sorcery, including Flare, Tornado, Quake, Flood, Freeze, etc.
However, this magic could also be used to heal, not just to destroy. And that's what a majority of Conjurers focused on, but the magic of the Moogles isn't focused on healing like Succor is.
Is there a lore explanation for why conjurers used to be able to use all elements but can now only use three? Do people RP as still being able to use them or do they RP as fire, lightning, and ice being closed off to them? Is it something people completely regard as a game mechanics thing or do people generally think that the elements conjurers have in game is what they get?
