SGE: hooded figure walking through a warzone, as people get injured around them, they keep walking past, but their nouliths 'automatically' heal up the person who needed the aid. Shielding circles automatically drawn around allies before hits can make contact, and when a big attack is about to hit the hooded figure, they don't even flinch. If you remember in ARR's cutscene, a magitek reaper is about to fire, until the BLM lights it up with a massive fire blast. So imagine, that reaper fires, and when the cloud of smoke dissipates, you just see the hooded figure still walking towards whatever they're walking towards, with the nouliths projecting the square shield Alph used in one of the final cutscenes when a planet was being thrown at him. Essentially, I figure something like this, but with nouliths instead of feathers

As for WHM, I imagine they'd lean heavily into the nature side of things. Decimating an opposing army with whirlwinds, earthquakes, tidal waves. The whole lightshow of holy magic is not great in terms of spectacle, if it's the entire show. Rather, using Holy as the big climactic finishing blast would be a lot cooler looking. It detracts from the supposed 'power level' of pure holy type magic, if that's the only thing the WHM were to fight with. Instead, if the battle is 'ended' because of one single cast of it, then it implies that kind of magic is incredibly powerful, perhaps prompting the viewer 'is there a reason they didn't open with it? is there a cost of some sort to it?' And then after the battle, I guess something similar to the SGE idea, where the WHM is effortlessly restoring their allies to health to imply 'hey this avatar of nature's wrath is also incredibly powerful at healing as well as destruction'. A great example of 'a healer taking the spotlight' can be found here. It even looks like an LB3. Actually, maybe that can be part of it, have SGE do the big digital tree, or an AST do Astral Stasis, that'd get people's attention
