Again, the elementals may be the original source of Succor, but they do not control it. If they could take away Succor on a whim, why were the White Mages able to abuse it to such excess? Why did the elementals have to kill them all and wipe their civilization out of history in order to protect the secrets of the magic?
Because they have no control over the magic, save for the control granted by their own inherent might. It's like Ishgard and chocobos, really.
Now, the elementals may attack someone who came into illicit control of Succor. That would be fairly logical. But nothing in lore suggests that they can just flip the proverbial switch and off goes the magic.
As far as I know I only ever see them get pissed off and try and impose their might to end the use. Or even use the forest to very literally hide the art and prevent others from accessing it physically.
It might be that Succor is granted or learned or siphoned or what have you, but once you know it... you know it for good or bad.
That is to say,I think the elementals block access physically... Either by beating people up who try and learn it, or literally covering an entire city in roots. I don't think they have a magical on/off switch for Succor, but I'd love to be shown evidence to the contrary.
