Keep in mind red magic (from red mages of course) is at this point pretty much assumed to be the use of taking on the use of two types of mana and then applying them to your sword strikes in some manner. Such as striking with your sword and then flames spewing across the land. As well as shooting a slash shockwave off of it using "spell blades". I don't doubt there's manipulation that can amplify the edge of your sword to pierce harder, strike harder, or even apply an element to your sword's tip. Magic/Aether in general acts in mysterious and weird ways, doesn't seem to be too much stopping you from manipulating it somehow. Just becomes more interesting when you have ways to identify it's workings, like how aether stays attuned to a blade or etc.
