I am well aware that the White came first. I did not mean to imply that white magic was conjury, I was comparing the two arts. Both are used to heal and both involve communication with nature - one is just orders of magnitude more powerful and complex.
I'm not sure there's evidence that you can move from Conjury to Succor easily, or at all. Conjury is described as one of the simplest schools of magic to learn - so simple, in fact, that unless you completely can't interact with magic at all, you probably can learn it without too much trouble. Â Succor...isn't...that.
Though I suppose you could argue that the more advanced techniques of Conjury stray perilously close to Succor, with the possibility that a very gifted or knowledgeable caster might inadvertently tap into Succor, since both Conjury and Succor train you to draw from ambient aether, not your own reserves (though you can absolutely do so with Conjury).
