Why do Conjurers grow Lillies?

[NobleWinter]

The Lillies and the Catholic Priest ability names seem disconnected from the Lore of the Conjurer and WHM. To me it would make more sense to replace the Lilies with Sprites shown visually as small glowing orbs of wind water and earth. These orbs would symbolize the spirits answering the call of the Conjurer and help them cast abilities reducing the cool down time the same way Lilies do. It would make so much more sense thematically. The effect of Divine Benison would be interesting too if it changed based on the sprites used. Earth Spirites could create a barrier effect. Wind Sprites cause a Regen Tick and Water do a raw heal amount. Since Divine Benison only needs one Lily currently or uses all Lilies that are available this would translate to Divine Benison having multiple uses depending on which Sprites you have. Having multiple Earth Sprites would be a stronger barrier or multiple Wind give a stronger regen tick with the chance to do all three effects to a minor degree as well.

Well I'm not going to go into the mechanical implications of changing the visuals, but I'll state my impression of the lilies.

Conjury and XIV white mage lore is intertwined with nature and a symbol of nature flourishing is a blooming flower. Cnj/whm borrow from nature to help their allies but they must not do it in excess, which is why only three charges of this bounty from nature can be possessed at a time. Lilies do have symbolism associated with Catholicism but their general symbol is of purity, which does work with cnj/whm in my opinion.

I have no clue if this is what SE intended but that's basically my take on it.

Why do Conjurers make Lilies?

Because they were jealous of Scholar's Fairy and wanted to show them up.

I thought they were to mourn the loss of Selene =(

To give the butterflies on our staff somewhere to hang out >.<

I love the class but I'm tired of all the pretty princess flower power dynamic lately

[Tridus]

Oh I love the butterfly staff. I can definitely see how not everyone would, though.

You think the botanist class would be the one to grow lilies. :^)
