Only if by "Red Mage territory" you actually mean "Debuffing territory" because that is the only aspect of the Red Mage that Summoner is encroaching on. Traditionally speaking a Red Mage is the class that uses both White and Black Magic simultaneously, though they have access to slightly weaker spells than a standard White Mage or Black Mage would have access to. It really is only in Final Fantasy XI that the Red Mage was relegated to the "Debuffer" role in most parties, and even then the Red Mage fulfilled the role of "Refresh and Phalanx spot" far more frequently than they did the "Debuffer" spot.
