While Raya-O-Senna is probably not the most reliable source on the subject, she mentions that White Magic was originally created as a balance to the destructive force of Black Magic. And that it became forbidden as a result of White Mages abusing their healing powers for self gain.

I wouldn't really count self-sacrificing magic as using your powers for self gain. Seems pretty close to the definition of a selfless act to me. I image the abuse of power that White Mages were accused of by the Elementals was something closer to seeking profit for healing. Maybe altering the aetherial form of the magic to harm rather than to heal. Something along those lines. What the girl is doing in the new ARR CNJ questline seems more akin to a form of 1.0's Thaumaturgy than the essence of Conjury.

Conjury draws from the power from the earth and aether and channels that energy into a spell. Whereas, Thaumaturgy drains the aetherial stores of the caster's own body. Like how in the new THM class quests the youngest of the seven lalafell brothers simply does not possess enough aether to sufficiently cast a spell without doing himself harm.
