I was turning this around in my head for a bit (while eating steak...omg nom nom nom) and was thinking...
Earth negates Lightning, Water negates Fire, but does Air negate Ice? o_O
I feel like we need Captain Planet.Â
In short, Earth grounds Lightning, Water Erodes Earth, Lightning boils water for the three conquests. The three submissions are 'Fire is Extinguised by Wind, Ice is melted by Fire, and Wind is obstructed by Ice.'
Not sure if the book still exists in 2.0, but it might be around Ul'dah or Limsa Lominsa for my best guesses. Probably the Arcanist guild in Limsa, but wouldn't know the location in Ul'dah.
As for if one could learn both thaumaturgy and conjury, I would believe it to be possible, though I would expect either an older character or an exceptionally talented one to do that. There are ways one could somehow use the elements of the other school of casting, like elementally attuned weaponry or maybe an alchemical method with shards/crystals/clusters, but that would be all the information I know. It's mostly speculation or debatable on that end honestly.
