How I would suggest fixing the healing and Resonance system would be to allow healing similar to Starfinder's system along with recovering spent Resonance Points (not invested Resonance Points) on short rests. That would reduce/eliminate the reliance on CLW wands and help get rid of the 15 minute adventure day.
I actually like the idea of getting back resonance points spent on consumables.
There is the Laborer background, which gives you the Robust Recovery Skill Feat, which has as a Pre-requisite Expert in Medicine. So if your GM rules that you have to have the skill to qualify for the skill feat, you can argue that this means you can have Expert in Medicine.
This is absolutely not how ignoring pre-reqs work. You sound like the guy who argued that because he took a Shoanti ancestry trait using Adopted in 1e, which required you to be 8+ feet, he could have an 8 foot halfling. If something gives you a feat or ability without needing the pre-req ability, you don't also gain the pre-req.

Hlifkom will five foot shift back towards Anastasia, giving Tika room to charge.
Raising her Holy symbol and uttering words of prayers, she focuses her will on Cosmo, casting Stabilize on him.
Her friend no longer in danger of bleeding out, she will turn her attention to Uktak, pointing a finger at him, proclaiming her Judgement against him in the eyes of Abadar.
Over the din of battle, she cries at him, a golden light flickering in her eyes, "The Judge of the Gods has found you wanting, and has tasked me with carrying out your sentence!"
Hlifkom will use her Judgement ability along with her once-a-day Judgement Surge feat, which allows her to treat her Inquisitor level as 3 higher for the purpose of determining the benefits of her Judgement. Current level is effectively 7. She is using the Judgement of Healing, granting her Fast Healing 3 until combat ends or she changes the type of Judgement.

I thought it might be something like that, but I figured I'd rather have a fair fight in case it wasn't.
Hlifkom raises her holy symbol, beseeching Abadar to heal her wounds.
Swift action, Fervor (Wp ability) for 1d6 Fervor:1d6 ⇒ 2
Knowing that even the evil deserve a chance to face proper judgement, Hlikom casts Stabilize on the dying Ifrit before her, then, mindful of the Ifrit Sorcerer bombarding them with Fireballs, she will move up towards the steps.

Seeing her friend go prone, Hlifkom will draw her blade, focusing on the blue ifrit in front of her. Focusing her will on her blade, she will imbue it with her god's divine power.
Hlifkom draws Gamin the Misforged from his scabbard as a move action, and as a swift action, she will imbue her sword with Bane (Outsider [Ifrit]), using her first round of bane for the day.
"Friend Gamin, guide my strike!"
I don't know if Intelligent items casting spells provokes AoOs, but if it does, that's fine. If it takes up my action economy, I won't have him cast Guidance on me.
Hlifkom will swing at the Ifrit in front of her.
Attack:

Hlifkom looks around at the gathered Oreads. Sensing a true plight amongst them, she nods to the others.
"Tyrannical genies oppressing a good, down-to-earth people? I can't imagine I'd be welcomed back to either the Silver Crusade or the Church of Abadar if I declined to help. I can't really imagine wanting to either. This seems like a noble cause."
Please let the fact that I called earth outsiders them down-to-earth be overlooked.
Looking to Eurdan, "What can you tell us about Tygora? Her weaknesses? Anything that might aid us in ousting or defeating her?"
"I think it's safe to say we've found what we are looking for. The only question is whether we should set out now, or wait for the morning."
Hlifkom will make a Perception:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33 or Survival:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 check to determine how far they are from the settlement.

I don't think you were pushing too hard, Cody. At least, it didn't feel that way to me. Dude holding 12 horses probably wants to stop holding 12 horses ASAP.

The door slams open with the sound of grinding stone, not from the door itself, but from the stout Dwarven woman that has just pushed through it, clad in armor fashioned from bands of stone strung together. At her side, a blade of fine mithril rent down the middle, at her back, a large cross bow, five bolts loaded into its repeater, and on her arm, a shield of brilliant steel.
As she strides into the room, she exclaims, "By Abadar, it's been no less than half a year since I've set foot in the halls of a lodge. Rather odd being back after so long..."
Halting mid stride, she spots Cosmo. After a moment's pause, she hustles over to him, clapping him in a hug, "Cosmo! By above and below, it's been a while. I don't think I've seen you since... well, since the unfortunate passing of your brother. How have you been? I didn't expect to run into anyone I knew here, let alone the only other person I know shorter than me."
Below is a letter sent to one Mr. Barrister of Eleder, Sargava by one Mr. Stephven Burncrest of Kintargo, Cheliax
A delivered letter:
Dear Mr. Barrister,
My name is Stephven Burncrest, and in two weeks’ time, I shall board a sailing vessel, bound for the port you call home. As I am sure you know, my father died searching for the ruins that they say dot the jungles of Sarvaga. You may have been with him when it happened, for all I know. A scant amount of information has reached me regarding his death, beyond the simple fact that it happened. This dearth of knowledge is why I will set sail for Eleder.
I found your name amongst my late father’s effects, and I must admit I know not whether you are still at the listed address, or indeed still alive, but upon seeing the name, I felt an otherworldly compulsion to meet you. Though I remember very little from the years he was alive, your name stands amongst my memories like a shining beacon, guiding me along a path that leads into the unknown. It’s as if the whispered words of my father long passed are moving me forward.
They say that ghosts are the souls of the living who died in a way that affected them from this plane to the next. I fear my father might be one such spirit, as I have seen him out the corner of my eye, silently pushing me towards this goal. He speaks to me of lost treasures, to finds unknown, to fame and glory for the discoverer. I feel like I must fulfill this, for him.
So I set forth, into the unknown of the Lost Colony. I do not know how long the journey will take, but I pray that this letter reaches you, so you might be prepared for my arrival, and pray that I reach you, that I might finish what my father seems to have started.
Sincerely yours,
Stephven Burncrest
A Brief History:
They say that becoming a spiritualist is an event, not a calling. Well for Stephven Burncrest, the event ended up his calling. Losing his father at the young age of six, Stephven was raised by his mother, not knowing much of his father's past, beyond that he was an explorer.
Upon the even of his 21st birthday, Stephven discovered a hitherto unknown cache of his father's belongings; trinkets from lands far and wide, dusty tomes of knowledge in languages the young Stephven was unfamiliar with, and a stack of correspondences between his father and a Mr. Barrister in the city of Eleder, the capital of the former Chelish colony of Sargava. What he also found, but did not see, was his father's spirit, long attached to his possessions, and now attached to Stephven.
Over the course of the next year, Stephven grappled with this new found roommate of the mind, learning to give his father's spirit form, insubstantial at first, but growing in strength and corporeality as Stephven's will strengthened.
Not wanting to be thought a freak, he kept his newfound powers to himself, manifesting his phantom only when he was sure he was alone. His father told him wonderful stories of ruins, lost lands, and the unexplored jungle depths of Sargava, where he had perished. Unfortunately, Gerimyah's death had robbed him of some of his memories, and unable to remember the cause, developed a zeal of discovery that flowed over into his son.
When Stephven heard tale of a chartered ship, departing in a month's time, to Eleder, he knew what he must do. Drafting the letter you see above, in hopes of finding a friendly ally in a strange world, he began preparations to venture forth, find out the cause of his father's demise, and to uncover the secrets of the realm that so tantalize them both.
This is my (maxmagana) submission for a Spiritualist. I will amend my alias' profile in the future to include his full stat block.
I was wondering if you could clarify the wording of Knife's Edge:
Knife’s Edge (Greater, Su): Double your Constitution score before adding the Teamster’s spirit bonus to determine when hit point damage kills you. If you are not immune to nonlethal damage, when you are at 0 hit points or below, convert the first 5 points of damage you take from each attack to nonlethal damage. You are not knocked unconscious by nonlethal damage unless you have as many points of nonlethal damage as your maximum hit points, rather than your current hit points.
Does this mean you suffer no detrimental effects of having non-lethal damage greater than your current HP, or are you still staggered when your non-lethal damage meets or exceeds your current HP, and only at it meeting your maximum HP, do you drop unconscious?
The feat Flagellant from Inner Sea Gods specifies you're still staggered, but the wording for Knife's Edge is a little vague.
