Yes, white magic is technically 'forbidden', however if you're playing a white mage ICly, it's likely you're not going to be announcing it the world for obvious reasons.
Rather it's lore-breaking to play largely depends on how much stock you put into the elemental bogeyman. Frankly I find the subtext implies that they're not as powerful as they're made out to be, certainly not at this point in time. As for the quest dialog, while it is made clear that your opportunity is a rare one, it's also implied that other exceptions exist, so *shrug*.
Personally I just say go for it if it's what you want out of your character. Sure, a handful of people from the RPC will shun you as if it were a matter of life or death, but they're not the type you'd want to roleplay with in the first place. In-game? No one seems to care, at least they never did back when I had a white mage.
