Just give it Bane back and something else cool to spread with Deployment Tactics

Personally I'd make it so Energy Drain upgrades to Bane (which causes it to deal its 100p damage in an AOE instead of ST), and that Deployment is able to spread Excog and Protraction at 50% efficiency each (Adlo would not be subject to the 50% penalty). Even with the 50% penalty, being able to spread a 5% Max HP boost, and/or a 375p 'heal below 50%' effect would both be crazy powerful, and would add to the 'tactical mastery' aesthetic of the Job. Imagine, an Adlo (not crit) + Excog + Protraction, all spread for a raidwide, which triggers the Excog, and is then followed up by a Recitation Indom. I feel like that's the essence of SCH, combining several of your tools to create a healing outcome greater than the sum of the parts.

Unfortunately, SE somehow decided that SCHs are meant to be angel-related, instead of the previously established 'battlefield tactician with faerie companion' (as opposed to WHM, who has an angelic statue (Kuribu) hanging out in their old home of 'Lost City of Amdapor', Temperance's VFX, all the holy light VFX on their attacks, terms like Tetragrammaton/Divine Benison/Afflatus Rapture/Confession (from Plenary Indulgence), old skill names like Divine Seal, Shroud of Saints, Seraph Cane as their HW Anima weapon,etc) and so this would never happen
