The explicit function of a soulstone, any soulstone, is to contain the memories, experiences, and knowledge of the soul that inhabits or created the stone. Just because the soulstone in the WHM storyline did not do so does not change the fact that those are the mechanics of the soulstones that have been laid out in the lore.
It's silly, it's lame, and it's a pretty animu styled shortcut. But it's the one we're stuck with.
Soul Stones appear to be treated differently by different Jobs in the questlines. Â They are not consistently magically granting their owners abilities. Â In several cases (Paladin and White Mage come to mind, but I know there are more), you still have to learn the magic/abilities through training with another source.
Edited to Add: And no, I'm not trying to say that you can't become a White Mage. I'm saying that this isn't the way to magically know how to cast Succor. Or, rather, it's possible, but would need to be a very unique thing and considering that you would have received little to no actual training in the discipline, you'd probably be prone to fucking it up. And there are other ways to get around the restrictions via RP and story, but people seem to prefer to spring fully-formed into the guise of one of the most powerful schools of magic without any difficulty, despite what the Lore actually says about White Magic and who can access it.
I actually hate that SE wrote the Job as narrowly as they did, because I think it's shitty for the playerbase. I'm hopeful that they'll relax the restrictions a bit with the continuation quests into Heavensward, or at least go back to the 1.0-version of "how to become a White Mage," which was much more open and accessible for RP purposes.
