You'd expect the Maelstrom to have some conjurers, so it looks like not everything can be healed, either due to the strength of the injury or the power of the conjurer.To call this out specifically - one of the SCH quests has you go around and heal those people, and you actually do miracle many of them back to health in a single spell. They recover instantly, despite their ailments having plagued them for months (even complicated illnesses like alcoholism and PTSD).
That would seem to refute the idea that magical healing can't heal old wounds, but I chalk this up to the WoL being special. The "average magical healer" wouldn't have been able to heal those people, or else they would have been tended to a long time ago.
My opinion's changed over the years, but I think it's totally valid to say the WoL (and to a lesser extent, the other Scions) are leagues ahead of the rest of Eorzea. If M'naagho stumbled in with those same wounds to Maelstrom Command (or even the Conjurers' Guild) instead of to the Rising Stones, she would have been lucky if they managed to keep her alive long enough to deliver her message.
You're also using an ancient lost art of healing in those quests, taught to you directly by a fabled master of healing from Nym - the city that had to be taken down with underhanded subterfuge because Mhach (the fabled masters of destruction) just couldn't beat them on the open battlefield.
I think even people with a SCH soul crystal but no direct Nymian tutelage would struggle to recreate the feat... which is actually a breath of relief for most healer roleplayers.
