If a character can learn the spells either by the teachings of another or from knowledge stored within a soul crystal, they can perform white magic. It has nothing to do with the so-called 'blessing' of the elementals which to my knowledge has never, ever been mentioned in-game.
Some Jobs actually use the Soul Crystal to pass on the knowledge of the skills involved in the Job (Scholar is, in a way, one of them, since the Soul Crystal carries the Fairy who bypasses the learning you'd otherwise have had to go through to master Scholar abilities). Â White Mage is not one of them. Â The Soul Crystal you receive during the quest doesn't have the knowledge of White Magic in it. Â It simply marks you as A-Towa-Can'ts chosen heir and provides you with the in to learn Succor from the Seedseer siblings.
And it has been mentioned in-game.
Quote:Literally all the elementals did was bury the ruins of Amdapor in the forest. Even Raya-O-Senna tells you that much:
Except that's not all you find out from Raya-O-Senna, and that's a tiny, tiny portion of the Lore surrounding White Magic and Amdapor.
Quote:Bottom line: you can play a white mage. Can we please stop policing RP now?
I've never said you can't play a White Mage, dear. Â You can play whatever you want. Â I reserve the right to say, "Hey, that doesn't fit Lore." Â If that pisses you off, I'm sorry, but it is the truth. Â You have the power to do whatever you want in the game. Â That is entirely your decision and absolutely no one else can tell you that you can't do something. Â But we can disagree with you and point out that you are mistaken about the justifications you are making for your RP, from a Lore perspective.
