I could see RDM getting the spell with it possibly being accessionable and Carbuncle getting a AoE SMN version of it since the point of it being added is that its a "classic" spell and Carby has had the spell at his command in his many iterations. As a WHM I wouldn't want it as a spell since even though it has been classified as a White Magic spell in previous games RDM def needs something unique and fun. I also agree with whoever brought up that RDM should get an accompanying "lightning rod" spell or JA.
Maybe have an entire line of of reflect based buff spells that a RDM can use that affect how reflect is dealt with like "next spell cast can pierce through reflect" since NMs with this buff at their disposal could lead to some interesting fights or maybe a "spells blocked by reflect are not reflected but instead restore MP" to allow a RDM to cast reflect and the aforementioned buff on a Paladin needing MP while Chivalry and Devotion are down when the PLD is about to eat an Impact or something along the lines of a powerful single target nuke (assuming there would be a fight where a PLD is 100% vital)
The above is probably too elaborate for implementation but i would like for RDM to have something to show off its supposed dominance and control of enhancement buffs (essentially to have it enhance themselves and party members in ways that are unique to RDM)
edit: in my mind i was thinking the "reflect pierce" and "MP Absorption" buffs as being able to be cast upon others so a RDM could say buff themselves or a BLM to have a way to handle a NM with perma reflect or something. Of course as I have read across many different posts across the different forums rumblings that the spell index is limited (as far as what's added to the game) so maybe a line of buffs revolving around reflect would be too much.
