I don't know. That clip of a Red Mage didn't really show much as far as Elements go beyond some Fire at the end. There was a distinctly White-Mage looking spell like a Mini-Holy (Dia perhaps?) in there though. I think Red Magic being derived from White and Black Magic means exactly that; its from White and Black Magic. Not from Thaumaturgy and Conjury.
