Obviously the term "Red Mage" comes from the clay that caked their clothes as they eked out a living up on the mountains.
... Honestly, that's always been an odd egg to me. Why call the combination of black and white magic "red magic"? Unless it's another DnD reference, this time to the Wizards of High Sorcery from Dragonlance.
