If you WERE to be from the first line of non-Padjal White Mages, there'd be absolutely zero reason for you to broadcast that. A humble cloak and a stout staff would serve you just as well as your magic, and all anyone would know is that you were an able healer.
Reminds me of the olds myths about travelers passing Gods on the roads, disguised as humble beggars and travelers.
Norse Mythology. Wodan and Odin.
As for the lore bit, I'd have to say I'm Pro-Lore, anti breaking it.
The reasons are pretty much the same as Fayes.
In any type of Roleplay community, no matter how you shape it, there has to be congruence between Your character, and all the characters you play with. As in; Absolutely everything must be the same for all characters in terms of laws of physics / the world setting / and so on, otherwise you create story paradoxes that destroy immersion with the snap of the finger.
HOWEVER. (and this is the big flipside of it)
Adhering to Lore does 'not' mean you're usually limited, or forced to play an average joe. For Example, a white mage is nothing else then a Glorified Healer in certain aspects (but i'm not too clear on WHM lore, so sue me). If it is said glorification you seek (no matter whether it's publicly advertised as some type of wunderkind phenomena) or just a detail you'd like to have for yourself, You can always find ways to achieve that by avoiding the label 'WHM'. You could simply go with something along the lines that your character has received a direct blessing from Nophica upon birth, making anything related to healing ar Conjury her second nature.
In the end, WHM is nothing but an elitary title to describe a handful of conjurers with a special aptitude/heritage. To create something alike, or that functions similarly, without touching the WHM powerderkeg is quite easy. It just takes a bit of clever shifting to achieve what you look for.
