Luminary cannot be unlocked until the main story is completed. To unlock the luminary class, you have to go to the dance club in Gleeba. Go over to the left side, near the girls' makeup room and talk a girl named Applaudia. She tells you to kill a moai minstrel with the hot lick ability. After doing so, go back and talk to her to unlock the luminary class.
