    I wonder if Summoner might be an interesting choice for something like this. I'm trying to avoid Reaper and Sage specifically because they're introduced in EW, so they seem too "convenient" or obvious a choice. Summoner is matched with Scholar, with has ties to Sharlayan, and also is the closest thing we have to present-day "creation" magic (even if it's not quite that), which presents a good tie-in to the Ancients. I also don't think there's any Summoner amongst our adventuring Scions, so it would be a sensible class for the WoL to use as it brings something unique to the group.

    Not sure if spoiler and MAYBE I didn't understand the quests perfectly, but I felt DRK was also, though in an odd way. Like, consider your inner self talking through you to others, but also manifesting as a healer to support you and even a short-term second being to fight at your side. It's more subtle and almost like the subconscious mind doing it, but it strikes me as very similar to Creation Magic since it's technically the WoL creating something out of nothing. There's a part of my mind that believes to this day the Job stone, sword, and even the knight you get it from were all generated through the WoL's latent Creation Magic.

    ...though perhaps a more innocuous explanation was given for all of that which I just missed.

    .

    I'd also love a War of the Magi expansion to really throw WHM, BLM, SCH, and even RDM a solid bone. A Merycidia themed expansion could get some interesting SMN lore, especially if there was Allegan lore attached from the war.
