This is not the case for Conjurers that borrow from the land. And we have no idea how math makes magic for Arcanists, as far as I've read.
As for the THM with the low aether levels, that's actually kind of irrelevant for casters, as they're more concerned with how they can shape and manipulate the aether in their surrounding environment.

Going to have to throw my agreement here.
Thaumaturgy is the manipulation of your internal aether to produce an external effect, it is the same reason the alchemist Cocobro cannot be a Thaumaturge. It is entirely possible for someone with a low aether pool to be a thaumaturge, but it would be incredibly physically taxing and risky for them to do more than the simplest of spells.
