there's gear that are exceptions to that and in such cases a theme is forsaken for the purpose of filling a gap. Look at fungibushi the obviously samurai themed armor that was granted magic capabilities.
1) Fungiboshi is only a meta armor due to a lack of better options. It's got good resistances for three elements, two of which have effectively no better options. Claiming that Fungiboshi being given magic to fill a gap is an example of why themes should be ignored ignores the actual issue that Wind and Light are underepresented armor elements for mages. Literally ANY dedicated Light armor with a built-in Light skill would be a valid replacement for Fungiboshi. Does it fill a gap? Yes. But the real issue is that there's a gap that needs filling and Fungiboshi is the only reasonable, available option. If the point being made is "Theme can be ignored for the sake of making an armor viable", then Fungiboshi is a bad example because Fungiboshi's viability is solely due to lack of better options. Winning a race with no competitors isn't proving your athleticism, after all.
2) That said, unless I'm mistaken, Mythical Warrior is a warrior armor. Because of how the game works, technically any armor can be used for warrior or mage purposes as long as you have the stats to back it up, but spellcaster armors tend to have spell support, a spellcaster lean, or a spell built in, and as far as I'm aware, Mythical Warrior has none of those. It's....also....called "Warrior" lol So. That means the armor will have to compete with other Warrior Light armors like Paladin, Ultimon, Rubicon Legate, Hexbound Solar Core, Fiend of Light, and, to a lesser degree, White Knight. Despite the latter's skill not being compatible with a STR build, it's still better than a basic Light armor with a heal, regardless of stat investment. Unless Mythical Warrior has built-in Light attack to make its damage viable, or the SP cost of its heal is DIRT cheap to make it spammable, there's really no way for it to compete with even White Knight, the "worst" viable Light armor for Warriors.
P.S. Samurai monsters have magic attacks in the game. There's a Light-element samurai monster that spams his strong Light spell until he runs out of MP. A samurai armor with magic isn't breaking any themes.
