Red Mage - The Spell Weaver

[Darkstride]

The En- spells are redundant since there are no elemental resistances that matter in combat. Having multiple ability slots for various elemental enchantments would serve no purpose, unless I missed so.e other job mechanic that would make use of individual elements separately.

The Enchantment spells are to provide INT scaling damage to your blade, such that you aren't reliant on weapon skill potency. It helps to bring justification to a spell-weaving system where you have reason to use both your sword and your magic. Elemental weaknesses are a thing, and if SE aren't going to use them appropriately, I will. If they aren't going to use them, remove them.

Red Mage's elemental sword hits would be exclusive damage from outwith. Applying En-Ice to the enemy won't make BLM's fire damage greater, otherwise there'd be no point for half of them. In a similar fashion to Ninja's Elemental wheel from FFXI, this is to provide an extra layer of potential damage (subtle, but enough) to keep RDM catching up with damage outwith DoT's while applying other utility throughout.
