1. We start with ARR, with SCHs getting their Faeries, with Faerie being a healing summon from FF Tactics (with maybe some Sylph and Pixie thrown in there)
2. In HW, when they gave all the jobs their own LB3, they gave SCH Angel Feathers, which allows the SCH to summon both their faeries and turns them into Seraphs (with Seraph being another healing summon, this time from VI, with Angel Feathers being their signature move)
3. Jump to ShB, where they reworked all the healers to remove most of their DPS kits so they would "focus more on healing" (lol) and they needed to give SCH a flashy, level 80 healing-based capstone skill, so they give them the ability to summon one Seraph
4. Cut to DT, where now SCHs can now absorb the power of Seraph via Seraphism

So Sch has ACN's original academia + magical geometry theming plus its own military/marine tactician, plague doctor, fairy-based spiritualist/mystic, Goetia/grimoire-based sorcerers, orate/mediator, angle-based conjurers, and past FF summoners' healing summons for themes.
It's a lot. (ಠ_ರೃ)
I dont mind the Trasformation as i am into Angelic Stuff i agree that its weird (especialy with them pushing White Mage into the Light instead of DD14 speficic Nature direction) to go to deep into Seraph instead of dabbling into other Support/Healing Summons.
Something like Unicorn, Kirin or considering Summoner doesnt really use it anymore Carnuncle, maybe in moonstone version.
