    White and Black mage are not the only elemental spell casters, and in the world of FFXIV you will have to be prepared to share as time progresses. Don't forget you have the option to go THM to sate your need for elemental control ^_^

    In the elemental wheel you have your umbral (destructive) and Astral (life giving) elements. Water, Wind and Earth are all attributed to healing, speed and life respectively. Though anything can be used destructively - the bases are there and it seems odd that a practitioner of the 'dark arts' would want to use spells that heal.

    I was annoyed when they took the spell water from WHMs, because lore wise it made no sense... luckily it has returned. Wind has always been attributed to Haste spells and the like so I figured WHM would be best to have them both, Stone was a surprise and one I would think a BLM should have a hand in but alas here we are.

    While it would be great to see the BLM wield each of the elements, you need to make compromises for 1. lore and 2. play ability.
    BLM is already (and always has been) king of spike DMG and giving them too much will lead to unbalancing which in turn will lead to a nerf of everything they have...

    I would like to see the return of dark and light spells to each though, perhaps SMN will be sharing these.
