its still not a caster or mage, don't know how many times i need to repeat that xD you can say it has magical affinity and i will accept that as fact but casting spells is never going to be a samurai thing any magic they do is all completely relegated to their weapon an they don't cast with their sword lol they swing it in multiple directions an the "magic" releases from either the edge or the tip of their blade.
honestly if you ask me since Samurai shares a gear set and dps identifier with monk that being (striking) it should have a similar mechanic to it with how they store their chakra's then release them upon executing weapon skills or job actions to me that would make much more sense to a samurai to be storing magic incantations within their blade and it immediately releases upon drawing the blade from its sheath without the need of casting just a simple and clean draw no stare-downs like some wacky wild west movie when the two gunman stare at eachother awkwardly waiting to see who draws first lmao
