My votes for a caster would be: geomancer, necromancer, and chronomancer

I rather see green mage as a healer. For a caster themed around nature geomancer already sounds a lot more 'aggressive' and by that suits better even if they effectively are the same. And maybe they could both still originate from the same starting class and by that just be made quite similar (for example biologist splitting to geomancer and green mage? ofcourse with entirely diffirent ability sets, but this way at least some aspects can be kept the same as a reference to actualy just being the same but for a diffirent purpose).
