There's plenty of ways to make it more distinct from Red Mage with just little imagination. I don't see Red Mage playing similarly to Black and White Mage even though it borrows assets from it.
While this is true, you do have to present your idea about how Spellblade/Runefencer/Mystic Knight/etc Wwll differ from RDM. As it stands RDM and Mystic Knights do have some overlap now, and RDMs have been given the "spell blade" command, or a similar one, in several games, most notably Dimensions. Show us a fully fleshed out idea and you'll get the support for the job you are hoping for.
