I thoroughly enjoyed exploring Kugane in no small part because it wasn't strictly beholden to Eorzea's way of life. In some ways it was similar yet in many others it was distinct.

    Necromancy could easily be written to be a key part of a foreign culture without the taboo it has within Eorzea. Or it could just be written to be a grim necessity as a means to fight fire with fire. Much like how other MMO's and many single player games handle such powers.
    Yoshi P once mentioned he liked the idea of making an Eastern 'Onmyoji' status-related caster DPS job.
    The in game lore of this is kinda along the lines of Geomancy/Onmyoji being similar to the Conjury/Thaumaturgy dichotomy.
    It's a somewhat forbidden branch of blood magic involving sacrifices and whatnot.

    While I doubt it could work as a status mage in XIV's current climate, I could see it working as a dark mage.
    Although I'd personally prefer Geomancer to give us spells like Quake and Tornado.
