Thanks to all who replied. That's interesting that Scholar magicks come from the fairies themselves, I always assumed that the fairies were just sort of like healing versions of a Carbuncle and spells like Adloquium and Succor were advanced Arcanima created by the Nymian Scholars for purposes of protecting the people on the front lines - similar to how a Dragoon's Jumps are designed to pierce dragon armor.
It's also a pretty major point that a Scholar can choose to be independent of the city states due to the art being extinct (unlike a WHM who IS more or less "bound to serve" the Padjal, at least until the ritual in the Level 50 quest is completed).
