Yeah, the original idea I had for White Mage job (and I've basically abandoned it in favor of the "Red Mage using White Magic to heal") was this.
While in haukke manor (the once home of the Seedseers), Tzain finds a well preserved book. Inside the book are pages of almost incomprehensible ideas. Imagine one of those really trippy self help things written by someone on way too much lsd. Tzain keeps studying it however and starts to figure out the concepts inside. Concepts that teach white magic. Turns out the binding of the book has a soul gem in it, the soul gem was made by the author of the book. So the White Mage book acts as a trainer and the soul stone acts like a decryption key. Allowing the reader to slowly interpret the spells as they become acclimated to the white mage soul gem. So the unique thing about the reader isn't so much "super special potential" as it is "curiosity", which may appeal to someone out there.
I'm not going to use that idea, so I'm leaving it here in case someone else wants it.
Also, thank you for the tidbit that a Red Mage *could* tap the land in an emergency. Adds an interesting little nugget.
Now at some point I'll actually put this all together and RP again.
