Anyway White Mages seems to have completely shaken off the Conjuror aesthetic and gone full Holy Mage (Holy as in the adj. not the spell), which is fine and fitting I suppose. Its still very visible so I have no qualms about it. But looking at the other healing spells shown is it just me or does every spell blend together? Like everything is just a mess of white light. Its not bad per se, but then I see what AST has going on and I can't help being really bothered.

I agree that the spells all kind of blend together. SE is kind of in a bind since Holy/Light magic is usually presented through certain "religious themes..." (hence the Angel Wings) but they can't go showing Christian crosses and other religious symbols so it's just more large messes of White lights. Though they're leaning more heavily on Flowers now in lieu of this.

You could interpret it as, Holy/Light magic is so volatile and powerful it's hard to give it defined structures (The more structure you give it though, the more effort it takes and the more potent it is, like Holy) and using it is more of a stressful, violent channeling of its power than a simple spell conjuration...

(Kinda sounds more badass like this honestly. Like even though your face is calm while casting Holy, inside you're biting your tongue and violently channeling and packaging Light magic into the Holy spell).
