To be fair, White Mages technically can cast "Banish" and "Dia" but the player cannot. These were spells that used to be in 1.0, but were removed around 1.2. There are several White Mage-type mobs (Light Sprites/Holy Sprites/Amdapori statues etc) that still cast these spells, and it's likely that Holy is to Banish what Flare is to Fire. It's possible the original Amdapori White Mages specialized in pure White Magic. The player White Mage is technically is a hybrid of Conjurer/White Mage, since White Magic is a lost art, the core of our skills is based on Conjury (elemental magic), hence why we have Stone/Aero/Water instead of pure light magic like Amdapor white mages did with Banish spells.
