    To further what I was saying about aspected monsters and fights.

    I am not sure if anyone here has done it, but the final boss of Amdapoor Hard is a good example of a white mage coded monster. Or what you would expect from a white magic user.

    Then we have Seiryu in the Four Lords quest line that heavily ties into Yanxian Geomancy. If you go back and do the fight, or watch a youtube video of the extreme version of the fight, you have a Geomancy coded monster. Seiryu is thought to be the "God of Geomancy" in Yanxia and is the diety that Geomancers pray to. The whole fight involves shikigami (Yoshi did say Geo was going to be more onmyouji themed than previous iterations and true to feng shui roots), avoiding Tengu (who are the spirits thought to have taught Ganen Geomancy to begin with), the summoning of giant water elementals akin to the boss in Swallow's Compass, and then the breaking of the stage involving Wind, Water and Earth. You fight on a small island while tornados and gales go on around you, and you are pushed around by waves of snakes. It's also another instance of a prominent lore Geomancer using a sword. Ganen was known as a master swordsman and was never seen without his katana and bell, and Seiryu is wielding a sword throughout the fight. Neither of these famous Geomancers was known as a healer in any way, shape, or form of any game's version of healing.
