If what arcanists, summoners, and pictomancers do is basically a lower grade form of creation magic than what the ancients could do, then couldn't a necromancer just do that but using the mere concept of like a ghost or a skeleton? As something created that way wouldn't be the real thing, therefore it wouldn't be an undead in the traditional sense, it merely resembles and behaves like the idea of it.
And further it would mean in terms of ethics its mostly clean aside from the appearance, as there is no graverobbing or interacting with souls or actual ghosts or cadavers.
After all blue magic in tural is a different process than that of the skalla did, as skalla was more blood curses and monstrous transformation, while the tural version is the safer version through soul resonance. So hypothetically a branching evolution of a different practice of necromancy that could be a job that warrior of light takes because its not mhach-style necromancy.
And if we take this one step further, with what I am cooking, then what about electrope? After all, the vana'diel raid was with electrope, it was all simulated, but made to seem lifelike based on the memory of what vana'diel was. And electrope is an evolved form of the same south seas style of magic that the milalla developed in the first place and to the player is introduced as the arcanist job.
EDIT: Since electrope is also electricity dependent, such a job could dabble in a bit of astral-based mage and you get lightning magic to go with the concept. If a job like that did exist, then we just take the noulith technology of sage for pinpoint personal aether usage. If these electrope creations could make use of food like how Prishe did, or similarly to Zero eating an apple, then hypothetically the job could also be green energy if all its required to keep one active is stuff like a normal lightning storm or eating something like an apple. Which thinking on this, this is kind of taking the aesthetic of Mhach but powering it with Amdapor style golem magic.
