Â Gaining their approval simply makes it easier. After all, you often see people who would never gain the elementals approval using conjury (pirates in Limsa, Garleans, Amaal Ja). It doesn't seem like to far of a stretch that a person who is diligent in their studies of conjury or magic in general, could come across the methods in which to learn white magic.
You do not need the Elementals' approval to use Conjury. Â In fact, it's described as one of the easiest schools of magic to learn and, like White Magic and Black Magic, uses ambient aether to fuel spells.
However, Conjury and Succor aren't actually the same thing. Â They're similar, but they're two different schools of magic (though I seem to recall Conjury being described as a "piece" of magic that the Elementals allow to be freely used without really monitoring it).
You can, however, play whatever you want with your characters. Â I think that's what I don't entirely get about these conversations. Â It's your character. Â Do what you want. Â No one can tell you that you can't play something you want to play. Â They may not like it, but that doesn't mean you can't play it. Â Find people who do like it and play with them.
