    And to everyone who's like "UMM ACKCHUALLY GEOMANCER IS JUST THE EASTERN WHM/AST". No. Just because we fought alongside a geomancer in the AST quest who used WHM animations does not mean its the same thing. Thats like saying the Astrologians in Coerthas are the same thing as Sharlyan Astrologians. We literally have a series of Trials against Geomany users (Four Lords), and also fight some Geomancers in Swallows Compass, and if you're trying to tell me they are the same as a WHM or an AST then I'd like some of what you're taking
    The concept of a Geomancer, pulling energy from the land to power your elemental spells, is exactly the lore of the Conjurer quests. So to that end, it does feel like that class will need to be retconned in order for Geomancer to exist.

    This isn't impossible now that white mages use dia and glare instead of aero and stone, but they still have more work to do.

    Nothing needs to be retconned. White Mage, Black Mage and Blue Mage draw from ambient aether to perform elemental spells. 2 Classes can have the same source of power and do similar looking things and be seperate classes (summoner/early scholar). Not to mention Geomancers can pull from more elements than a cnj can anyway, so thats difference enough as is.
