Either SMN and RDM should lose their Raise or BLM should get a Raise.

Not sure how people think raise would be consider a BLM spell -.-; The only reason RDM or SUM have it is do to them not being aligned with the Dark arts as a whole. RDM does both Light and Dark so naturally do do light. SUM is consider a whole different type of magic so yes resurrection is different. BLM would be more of living dead type of raise , but that is more of necromancy. BLM Should not have a raise at all.

It's easy enough to rationalize allowing BLM to raise people in some form or another. Bringing dead things back to life is a staple of dark/void/black magic in many fantasy settings, and the FF franchise is a kitchen sink of fantasy tropes.

That's why my general objection to the idea of BLM raise has nothing to do with lore and everything to do with what I want for the Job gameplay-wise.
