Due to this, we do not have plans of allowing red mage spells to simply be changed into AoE spells.
Not only is RDM proficient in Enfeebling (When a monster isn't damn near immune to it.) But, I for one would have expected RDM to have gained access to Adloquium (Regain) and better Regen spells due to the fact that RDM has higher enhancing skill and original access to the Regen spell.
