I totally get that! Perhaps I should have used restorative magic rather than the phrase "white magic." I understand that White comes from the elementals and that there are certain things in place keeping people from using it. But the point is still rather constantly being missed that in game mechanics =/= RP, which is what I've been trying to get at :p
