It's aether, yes, but it's borrowed from the land itself to promote growth and renewal. White Magic is specifically a power source called "Succor" which is also given by the Elementals and closely, closely guarded; Until the Warrior of Light went through the WHM job arc in the 2.x series the only one permitted to use it were Padjals, following an end-of-the-world scenario hundreds of years ago that ended the Fifth Umbral Era.I should have mentioned that due to a... learning disability, I am unable to process much of the lore set forth in the quests. I can't really explain other than that I think it's the format in which it's presented. That said, yes, the general idea came across and in my mind it works similar to to how Elementalists heal in GW2. So I think that I'm set with that. More specifically I'm wondering about the WHM. Is Succor too OP? As an Au Ra not long in Eorzea, would she have had access to a Padjal for training? What impact does the actual Soul Stone have, if any?
There's definitely a history of herbal recovery, though! Alchemists can craft potions of varying strength, and they all use specific ingredients from the in-game world. The recipes can be found at this website and clicking on each one and the "Created by..." tab will tell you what's required. X-Potions, for example, require vampire plants and thanvanarian mistletoe.
As for the Alchemy end.. thanks for the link, that's fantastic!
