Agreed. You know how Ninja spins through mudra? There's no reason a mage couldn't spin through enspells (and not even necessarily off the GCD; it could be part of the main rotation). When you're building up combinations or rotations, it's just mechanics wearing a dress, you know? I've always imagined XIV!RDM as a front-line INT-based jack-of-all-mages and master-of-none that could combine and/or rotate elements to achieve different effects. Mostly DPS, sure, but they could combo up certain debuffs that are worth the lost rotation to manage a longer fight, or to take down a big pull quicker, or sacrifice outgoing DPS entirely for a moment to clutch a buff or heal-assist. I've already written it off as a lost pipe-dream, though.

Oda-san had some loose sheets and held up what you see there as they were chatting about who everyone was and what recent events were. There's a good chance that the sheets he's holding are 1:1, right? So imagine roughly 300 of those compiled into something that would pass as a "blunt instrument", and scale slightly for what-if sizes.
