Fluid Aura changes

It's a minor thing but that always bugged me tbh - WHM is the single job whose lore and aesthetic/theme don't match at all. Are we a druid or are we a priest? the CNJ/WHM lore and job quests say druid, yet the spell effects, names, and gear says cleric, specially now that we lost Stone and Aero.

Maybe it's a sign we'll see an actual Elementalist job in the future

I think this is because conjurer was originally designed with multiple jobs in mind before they realized it put a lot of constraints on lore and skill design (the awkwardness you mentioned being a symptom of that). Honestly, I never really associated white mages with the cleric archetype found in many other games so I think the direction they took was pretty interesting, even though we have since abandoned our roots (no pun intended).
