so what is up with that, bad writing, or bad reading on the lore guys part?
It's forbidden magic. Â As others said, in the actual questline it's made clear that you're the only Super Special Snowflake allowed to learn the magic (because you're not Padjal, and only Padjal are allowed to learn White Magic per the Lore).
That said, I think it's entirely possible to grow into White Magic through RP, and there are other really powerful healer roles you can RP that aren't quite White Mage. Â For instance, you could be a simple Conjurer (they are primarily healers, though they also have some offensive abilities), or even a Hearer (a Conjurer born with the innate ability to "hear" and understand the Elementals, as well as an innate ability to use Conjury without training).
I was hoping that the Heavensward questline would expand the borders of White Mages, but no such luck.
