For a magic that's been buried in a tree and forgotten for 1,600 years and the knowledge of its continued existence has only been entrusted to about six very isolated families who live their entire lifetime out in the deep Woods... a lot of people in Eorzea sure do seem to know a lot about white magic's forbidden-ness ICly. Hmm...
I thought it was common knowledge that it almost destroyed the world.
Is that not true?
Not unless you are a scholar of ancient history, no. When Raya-O first uses her magic she has to explain to the PC (a now experienced conjurer) that what she had just used was white magic and actually explain what succor is and why its no longer used. The average person doesn't know what it is. Just like the average person doesn't know that Ul'dah actually zombified Sil'dih. And that was only 400 years ago.
