(I actually reflect that in my Thaum RP as well; Ark uses a lot of old thaumaturgy). In fact, in 1.0, you could cast without having the wand in your hand, you just had to have it on your person, which accounts for a lot of what Y'shotla does. I kind of like to see them showing that a lot of the old methods are still viable even if our current classes don't reflect it.
Yes, I get what you're saying, but when she pops out with what we know to be an Astrologian ability (the aoe bubble she creates) and casts what looks suspiciously like Holy during the end of the ARR MSQ, I question whether it's a Conjurer we're dealing with.
Something to bear in mind is that what we have for classes and jobs are generally Eorzea-only. We have no real idea of what kind of magic and abilities are available outside of our lone continent beyond Ninja and Astrologian (and possibly Dark Knight). And we won't as long as the game takes place only on the continent of Eorzea.

This is true of basically all the major NPCs we've run into except for Kan-E-Senna (who appears to be a very stereotypical White Mage/Padjal). They manifest abilities that don't fit into a single box. In some cases, that can be explained by them not being native to Eorzea at all (many of the Scions, for instance, are from Sharlayan).
