[[takes out the magitek mod device]]
At the risk of yet another WHM thread derailing, I'd like to remind people to be friendly and constructive here. If one finds themselves unable to do so, the posts will be removed and warnings will be given.

Right then! Let's see if I can get this started.
In previous WHM threads, the issue that's generally been brought up is that Succor (white magic) is controlled by the Elementals in the Black Shroud. Because of this, they've basically got it on lockdown. After the War of the Magi, the Elementals flooded the world in the 5th Umbral Era and created a brand-new race that they would only let learn Succor. These were the Padjals. It should be noted that Padjals are actually children who've been chosen by the Elementals, not a special race on their own.
The main-character of the story (so basically the Warrior of Light only) happens to be a special case, being y'know, the super-duper amazing person that the Warrior of Light is and all.Â
It was stated that while what we see in the game is a "only the Warrior of Light is so special to get to learn Succor this way", there are "nefarious means" of learning White Magic too, likely at the expense of pissing off the Elementals so much they'll go on a tirade should that person become noticed.
edit: I'll be posting some of the previous threads to touch on White Magic below (there's a lot more...)
