Red Mages: How do you feel about the symmetry of Black and White magic?

[Iscah]

Oh, I certainly don't think that's the case; there's plenty they could do to mix it up, like having Vercure generate white mana or having Fire and Stone have different cast times/damage amounts/mana generation so that, for example, RDM's needed to cast 1.5 x as many White spells for each Black spell.

The rhythm and symmetry of RDM spells appeals to me, and it feels awkward and unpleasant when they are out of sync, as they are in early dungeons or the awkward gap in the 60s where you have Flare but not Holy.

Deliberate imbalance would be odd lore-wise, and arbitrary imbalance isn't really any more exciting than arbitrary balance.
