Red Mage Job Description

That's exactly what we got.

And I love it, an uncomplicated damage dealer who uses an engaging spell casting mechanic to build up power for a devastating melee combo. To me, it's flashy, fun, and distinctive. I don't feel misled at all. I am happy with the red mage we received.
