Currently the 3 healers we have have close ties to magic. Would a 4th that we get also use magic? I hope not, because a combat medic type healer would be an aesthetic that I believe would be very cool indeed, and would bring further variety to our role.

Skills would still use MP, of course, because it’s an abstraction for gameplay purposes. But attacks could use alchemical items or bombs or some such (think riku’s mix overdrive from FFX) to attack enemies and heal and support allies.
