Unless a Magic Vuln has uptime like Garuda-Egi's Contagion, it can't be considered mild utility anymore. If you can refresh it like piercing and slashing it would make BLM a bit too strong (and before you go lash out for potential bias, BLM is my most played DPS and I dislike SMN to no end) since you potentially affect PLD with the Holy Spirit window and healer dps with it. Hell even Ninjutsus are often magical.

If its a refreshable GCD, its too good and 9/10 times part of your rotation, requiring to lower personal DPS to balance our rDPS contribution.
If it is an oGCD with low uptime similar to contagion, it can work out but still comes with the issue that BLM is g a r b a g e at weaving without triplecast.
If it is ogcd high uptime, see both of the above.

Keeping in mind that BLM is the best target for using manashift (for one having the most MP out of all casters and basically refreshing MP freely under UI) and still has the caster role action suite available, it is difficult to give BLM any utility that neither breaks it, makes it op or is just braindead like the often-suggested idea of having any form of a resurrection on it. If you ask me, I'd even remove resurrection from the Arcanist kit and make it Scholar only.
