It isn't using it better than SCH, having more spells work doesn't mean suddenly they are better. You are already limited on the 2 Stratagems only when /sch not to mention all you'd gain from it is Haste II which doesn't matter since you'd also have Haste Accessionable and GEO + SCH/RDM would then be able to cap magical haste without RDM.
Also I like how it's deemed as not fine for a job to take advantage of a subjob, yet perfectly fine for SCH to take advantage, and do better, RDM's spells /RDM.
Or even Convert to be as potent for any job /RDM
In fact pretty much anything that was unique to RDM has been passed onto another job whether it's SCH, PLD, RUN or even GEO.

And in turn nerf them all as they are balanced around being self-cast, no thanks!
And in turn you lock them to an enspell to gain what they already had, it's still a nerf.
If they added Temper to cast on others anyway it'd change nothing, it would be weakened to the point of not being worth it.
RDM is NOT a party enhancer like GEO, BRD or COR time spent on enhancing should be directed at BRD. If any enhancing magic is added, it should stay as self-cast only. (Sorry just my opinion) Reraise and Regen III would be nice.
Where RDM really needs a fix is in it's true role, Enfeebling.
For a start they shouldn't be weaker on NM's and while resistance is possible it shouldn't be complete resistance depending on what SE feels like when they make the NM's.
I also do agree with your Magic Accuracy trait, could do it +10 for first tier up to +50 maybe.
Dia III should be at least -20% Defense, 5% more for a Merit spell over Dia II is ridiculous.
Paralyze II should actually do something on NM's and not actually just seem like a waste of MP.
Addle II Should reduce Magic Attack Bonus and Magic Accuracy.
Slow II should also reduce enemy Regain, since they insist on giving them all it now.
Add Poision III with at least 500 HP/tic
As new spell ideas you could do something like:
Darkness - Reduces target special attack accuracy.
Imperil - Reduces the target's magical defense.
