I mean, hell, you could always go "Oh my character is a conjurer and SUPER interested in White Magic" and make her a scholarly type who's trying to uncover more about that type of magic? Not that she will have access to it, but you can still play with the white mage concept to some degree! Chasing a concept can be very interesting as well. She doesn't have to be one, but she can still dream of becoming one!
I was actually talking about this to someone last night. Even having access to White Magic doesn't mean you'd have any skill in it. I honestly imagine that the abilities of the Padjal pale in comparison with the heights that Amdapor reached with the art. There's probably an immense amount of knowledge that's simply been buried or lost.
This is also, to an extent, why I favor gaining knowledge/access to the really restricted Jobs via in-game RP. These are heights to be aspired to - something to work toward. I feel like it would be less of an experience if you show up already knowing how everything works.
I digress.
