Any way to play Summoner AND Scholar without hindering your attribute points?

That would indeed fix it but then it means that healers would compete with damage casters for gear and it also means that damage casters could also work as reasonable healers too. If you look at how black mage works you could have a healer that NEVER runs out of mana if a blizzard spell was used often. It's just psychic but unlimited uses?

heh, you're really stretching "reasonable" when it comes to BLM/SMN healing potential. I can spam Physick as a SMN without any mp loss, which has the same potency as cure. BLM and SMN don't get access to cleric stance, so my 400 hp cures won't be saving any party in endgame content. I already have to compete with BLMs for gear; adding another job to the INT line won't make any noticeable difference.
