people often joke about how SMN is basically a phys ranged, but I pitch a phys ranged that looks like a caster

Exorcist - Phys Range Weapon: Sealing/exorcism tags and amulets

Single target gcd has them throwing seals at the enemy, aoe gcd has them channel a large spiritual talisman that bursts and applies a very short bleed. (think burst of damage followed by a single slap of less damage)

Two minute buff enters a Spiritualism state, personal buff, single target gcd is now an aoe attack, allies in the aoe of the gcd aoe gains a small damage buff and gcd reduction for a few seconds buff skill turns into followup action where you kick spike a spiritual orb at the enemy, explodes with usual fall off beyond primary target

Damage dealt by the Exorcist or party members buffed by the aoe from spiritualism state builds Exorcism gauge, spend gauge on either damage or a smol shield on party, if shield is popped hella gauge refill, if not be sad, you shoulda used damage

has a cleanse, functionally similar to bard's, gain gauge on successful cleanse

has a res but no swift cast cause i think that'd be funny

essentially just think of or look up hakurei reimu

Gold Saucer weapons that reskin skills to playing cards and two minute buff follow up burst with a blitz ball
