Â Technically, Succor is accessible to those outside the blessings of the Elementals, but it is rather nicer to have it passed down from them. Â That being said...Lost City is still as open as ever it was to us, and wouldn't take all that much to RP entrance into, if for the soul purpose of obtaining your own, once lost soulstone from the ancient ruins of the Amdapori, the greatest nation of White Mages that ever lived.
In the context of the original quest, you don't need the soulstone to do anything. Â You get the soulstone because A-Towa-Cant chooses you as the heir to his teaching, which is the entire reason you're allowed to learn White Magic in the first place (think of it as your Passport to Cool Healer Things ™ ). Â A-Ruhn and his sister don't want to let you learn White Magic, but the Soulstone convinces Raya-O to give the thumbs up. Â A-Ruhn is so pissed off by the Soulstone part that he runs off in a snit.
Whenever you learn a new ability, it does say the standard line of "echoes of past White Mages" blah blah, but I honestly don't take that as a statement as proof that you "must" have the SoulStone to learn the magic.
Later in the 50-60 questline, the suggestion is made that because you are using your White Magic more and more, and conquering greater difficulties, you're learning to do more and more powerful spells within White Magic, ostensibly thru the Soulstone since Raya-O and A-Ruhn spend most of the questline...I'm not going to give it away, but they're basically useless.
However, there's nothing to suggest that you couldn't get the same knowledge from training under a master of the school of magic. Â It's just, the soulstone makes it easier and faster.
