@nozomikei it’s certainly not exactly what you asked for, but I did want to draw it.
Zenos in the boob window sweater was the most tempting.

So I got to meet Koji at PAX West! He signed my Lore book and I also got a chance to ask him a lore question about White Mages because honestly I’m tired of how restrictive the lore feels regarding the Job.
Me: “I know White Mage lore is super restrictive about who is and isn’t allowed to use White Magic. That said, is there any way a non-Padjal who isn’t the Warrior of Light can become one?”
Koji-Fox: “The answer to that is complicated - because from the perspective of the Padjal, the official answer to that is ‘No, absolutely not.’ That being said, discarded Soul Crystals are definitely something one would find if say, they explored the ruins of the Lost City of Amdapor or other Amdapori ruins. And with enough practice and research, someone could conceivably learn White Magic. The Padjal keep the knowledge but that doesn’t mean they hold every scrap of information on the art. The Sharlayans certainly would have some tucked away, and there’s certainly some scattered around in those previously mentioned Amdapori ruins. So yeah, are there are non-Padjal, non-Warrior of Light White Mages lurking around Eorzea in the shadows? Absolutely. Some use their knowledge for evil, and some want to use the art of healing for good. However, they are not granted their power via the Padjal.”
So according to Koji - it is possible but difficult for a non-Padjal Conjurer to study and learn White Magic, however it would not be officially sanctioned by the Padjali. Meaning much like Black Mages, these White Mages would have to hide themselves because their art would be taboo.

"I love this word decadence, all shimmering in purple and gold. It suggests the subtle thoughts of ultimate civilization, a high literary culture, a soul capable of intense pleasures. It throws off bursts of fire and the sparkle of precious stones. It is redolent of the rouge of courtesans, the games of the circus, the panting of the gladiators, the spring of wild beasts, the consuming in flames of races exhausted by their capacity for sensation, as the tramp of an invading army sounds."
-- quoted in William Gaunt, The Aesthetic Adventure.
I might have a problem.
