To me that's more indication that it won't ever be a job, and the latest inclusion in Heroes Gauntlet is a kind of "this is what it could be in another world, but not this one"
From what I got out of that, Necromancy was essentially infusing a corpse with the Aether of a bound Voidsent wich then takes control of it. Doesn't feel like its mechanically using anything related to white magic specifically, In any case, Necromancy is no healing art.

Arguably, Necromancy shares more ties to the Arcanima Arcanists use, in which they use geometrical patterns to "program" aether into creating artificial life, from constructs like Eos or Selene, or viruses and bacteria like Miasma and Bio.
