Should there be a big Mod Post about that if that's the case? Make sure everyone knows not to take and post screenies until Tuesday?

I wonder if Alisae even needed to get a soul stone or ask for one just to learn the abilities of a red mage or the trainer just tutored her regardless. He made it sound like it's his sworn duty to teach those who want to learn it no matter what. So I guess whether or not you have a soul stone(and even if you need one, it seems like), you can just become a red mage and that's that lol.

I like this. Maybe he wants to rebuild the order.

Though I'm still hoping they indulge further into what exactly red magic as a discipline is to involve rapiers or how wielding swords makes their magic so good. I took what they said so far to mean they build on their physique to enhance their natural born mana pools rather than just using ambient aether to make up for what a commoner lacks in power. Otherwise... I don't have the slightest clue so far what separates their discipline from other basic ones. Considering Conjury/Thaumaturgy originally drew from their own mana pools iirc.

Show Content

Spoiler-RDM doesn't use ambient mana like BLM and WHM
-Sword techniques harness and amplify their spoken incantations. Their "physical form serves as an arcane accelerator", "an ingenious way of preserving their self-imposed limitations" (that is, not using ambient mana).
-Red Mages fight for those enduring violence and subjugation, a bulwark against unkind vagaries of fate
-Revolutionary Red Mages united as Crimson Duelists against the Ala Mhigan king
-Only he survived of the Crimson Duelists, they were crushed
-He never ceased fighting for Ala Mhigo's liberation and allied with the scholars of Sharlayan after hearing of the Calamity

The way he says it, it sounds like not all Red Mages are Crimson Duelists, that was just a group of them. And I didn't get a screen of this, but earlier he says Alisaie sought him out to learn red magic from him some time ago.
