Standings of Black Mage, Red Mage, and Summoner

Except this is FF14, and the game clearly has a baseline for Thaumaturges being capable of healing magic. The reason it was removed wasn't a lore standpoint, but a class balance one, because having a high DPS class capable of party healing didn't work.

By your logic, Summoners shouldn't have access to a Raise type spell, but they do.
