Dark and Light Maneuver are also in XI but I made their effects up from scratch.

As for why Sharlayan, they've shown an aptitude for mammets/automatons in the Antitower and the Great Gubal Library (Hard). Plus they seem to have a more whimsical aesthetic that I think would fit Puppetmaster and differentiate it from Machinist.
So basically you want an XI job in XIV.....welp, there goes my vote.
