This sort of detail hasn't been revealed to us yet! It might be coming in a future patch, though given how many questions we have about White Magic in general I'd be surprised if it wasn't sooner rather than later.
The actual "nefarious" means could be a couple of things. We know it's gifted to us from the Elementals, maybe - We only have the Padjals to trust in when it comes to that. There might be a way of "reaching" the magic without consent of the elementals or the Padjals.
In addition, we know that Ampadori White Mages were, well, white mages. There's a whole keep that's full of - oh wait, enterprising adventurers cleared that out of cultist presence, twice. There's also a city that has been uncovered, but it's full of dangerous- oh wait, adventurers cleared all of that out, too. Most of the danger of folks exploring has been alleviated by us do-gooders doing good, so those who might have shadier plans can follow in our wake and find what might have been lost for the ages otherwise.
Maybe they're rending the knowledge or "permission" from the soul stones? Maybe the Ampadori found a way to reach and draw on Succor without the Elementals knowing? Perhaps that revelation was the reason the elementals drowned the realm? We know the War of the Magi reached a stunning and brutal conclusion that resulted in the Elementals intervening, what if they were just doing it because, without a check on the use of Succor, the White Mages risked killing the world just as readily as their Black Mage counterparts?
tl;dr:We don't know, but there's plenty of theory.
