Semblances, Aura, and Dust may not be magic, but can function like magic enough for a mage-like character to exist like in other sci-fi settings where a mage-like class exists. Aura control may be able to act like base magic attacks and defences then Dust could be added for elemental effects. Dust in general causes elemental effects. Semblances allow for one basic ability and some could have abilities that would belong in the mage class like Wiess already expemlifies. I know there's no set actual magic. Some stuff is just "magic-like". That said, my point was always other than Weiss there's almost no support characters. Everyone's a fighting of some kind. The rabbit girl was a little blue mage like but she skill was mainly just copying fighters. We need healers, supporter, and maybe some allies who do stat ailments. Fight the Grimm on more than just a damage front. Maybe poison them, paralyze them, put them to sleep. Weiss can speed people up or hold things in place, why not a mage-like character who drains other's aura to use it to heal their own or heal others?
