Unless you want the WoL to be locked to reaper only...

I wonder if I can get away with saying
"This wouldnt work because Lore"
But Im sure Ill get the "WOL is the exception" or "It doesn't matter they can just twist and change the lore to make it happen"
Even though literally, its established that Garleans can't use magic. So how could they become Warriors of Light or Champions of Hydalyn if they can't freely manipulate Aether?

Zenos could be used as an excuse, but he needed a special machine that didnt exist until later in Stormblood to give him his power. So what would be a Player Characters excuse?
Also...im sorry but Garleans are not a special unique race, they are made up of existing races that are born without magic talent and have a 3rd eye, so it would be a weird way to waste resrouces to make a new playable Pure Garlean Race for what is pretty much just an upgrade to the character models...which would make 1000x more sense to propose.
