Nope. Â Sadly, it did nothing of the sort. Â Quite honestly, the writing was rather blah and I was pretty disappointed by the story in general (although it did provide some nice lore tidbits along the way).

Everyone's overlooking the meta, I think, that also exists in a pretty secure grey bubble: If someone claims to be a white mage, not everyone ICly is going to have the knowledge of what that job entails. I don't imagine very many folks can stand up and shout THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE, YOU CAN'T BE ONE BECAUSE THE ELEMENTALS FORBID IT! Does anyone casually know the inner workings of Padjal society? What they really are? What they can do?
If someone says they're a White Mage and they're out of place (read: not protecting the Shroud) it's reasonable to express doubt. If they then show they can channel succor, it's also reasonable to express surprise. Something I've always said is that the average person isn't going to know what succor feels like anyway: If we buy into the "your aether is personal and different depending on the user" fluff then no two healers would "feel" the same anyway.
I'm rambling a bit because sleepy Warren is sleepy, but it comes down to plausibility. Running around Limsa Holy-bombing things is much less believable than, say, a healer going on a pilgrimage to study the extent of the Calamity. Write what you want, but try to be respectful. If it flows, people will respond positively to it.
Well, bear in mind that it is forbidden magic, so some people might even have a really hostile reaction.
My personal opinion is that a White Mage would not be doing anything to advertise the fact that they are a White Mage.
