Personally I don't care if CON or THM lead to WHM, but I have been struggling with this ever since the jobs were announced. If CON lose their nukes, it will contradict the lore but if they become WHM which is likely it doesn't make much sense for the WHM to have the nukes. Not sure which way they will go.
I'm thinking jobs will have their own lore that transitions from the originating class. As others have suggested, maybe some of the lore for White Mage is that you lay down your offensive magic in favor of more potent healing spells. For Thaum > Black Mage maybe the Black Mages are a branch that focus specifically on the death aspect in terms of magic. My point being that the lore of the jobs doesn't have to follow the lore of the originating class 100%. They are separate entities for all intents and purposes.
