The website blurb on White Mages certainly does raise some questions. It wouldn't be the first time the devs backpedaled. I played briefly in 1.0 and remember when Conjurers were the catch-all "classic" magic class, i.e. Fire, Ice, Thunder, Aero, et cetera PLUS healing with Thaumaturges being.. uh, weird. (I never played one at the time, sorry!)
Still, with nothing else in the lore to back up what's on the website, I guess it's best to ignore it until stated otherwise. That being said, I'm not going to just outright dismiss people who decide to lore-bend a bit to make those classes work, simply because I'm not one to exclude anyone.
Plus it's crappy lore and my character is clueless about magic anyway. [/opinion] >.>
