Show ContentSpoiler-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.
Show ContentSpoilerApparently Red Mages took upon themselves not to use their white and black magic components to suck the planet dry of its aether, and instead make to do with their own personal aether (which implies they could use the planet's aether like any white and black  mage). How do they managed not to kill themselves, is rather vague to me right now, but it seems to hint at their technics focusing it through their blades and weapons.

SpoilerPresumably the same way a Thaumaturge can?
