Arguably Bard and Machinists are indeed mages by multiple definitions. In game, they absolutely are in the form their gameplay mechanics are cast times. From a thematic theme they are as well, you think Bard songs aren't a form of magic? Or how about when they rain down a volley of brightly colored darts? That's not magic? And Machinist's by their very lore, use the aetherotransformer to convert their body's aether into lightning aspected aether that powers their gun and tech.
All you're doing is playing semantics here. You're nit-picking for the sake of nit-picking because you choose not to accept the notion so you can push your agenda. You're ignoring jobs that play and act like mages just because their title says Disciple of War, and not Disciple of Magic which is just silly.

Even then, the addition (or lack of) for Mages is highly irrelevant to this topic.
