There are a ridiculous number of highly visible magic-based characters in the story.
Sorry using your post to help emphasize the point here for the OP on character roles. I've added the jobs roles into your post for the ones I was sure of.

One character you had missed was Alsisa or how ever it's spelt, not quite sure what she was job wise because she never summoned anything that I had seen but after her transforming her book into a sword causes me to suspect she becomes a rdm. There has been lots of magic aspects through out ARR, HW, and until the second expansion comes out to be sure there'll be magic aspects there too.

I'm sure at some point there will be an expansion that showcases a magic class in the future.
