It's a mindset that considers life as one continuous and largely simultaneous history, and one can hide in that general flow, or try to pull themselves out from it, taking its instinct or inspiration. Sorry, this all came to mind all at once, and it's still not very solid. The title I thought of had a lot to do with the Archons, and as such was FFXIV-specific. Grey Mage would be closest to the meaning, but the impression is off, since they feel a lot more set into or close to their culture or group of friends than "grey" would seem to indicate. But, they're still not shamans nor priests. They're definitely a type of mage, with both an academic and emotional understanding of its phenomena.
Hmm I'm still a little lost, but I believe that is the aim with necromancer. Although it lacks the part about archons, Necromancers nonetheless are an esoteric job in the sense that you seem to be describing. If you mean by grey mage, a somewhat fusion between black mage and white mage, that is also kinda what I'm describing. Otherwise, I'm kinda lost still, sorry ._ .
