Well actually, conjury mechanically just requires aether. Same with thaumaturgy. However if you expend your own aether, you'll quickly wear yourself out, causing sickness and worst case scenario, death eventually. Conjurers learn to communicate with nature to draw aether from nature, whilst a thaumaturge pulls massive amounts of aether from the world around them to fuel their own spells. Both conjurers and thaumaturges require foci to cast complex spells however, which is why both use wands/staves (okay, blms use a cudgel type weapon, but it serves the same function). Devs have told us that cnj/thm whm/blm are two sides of the same coin.

Doesn't conjury require nature to channel through? Similarly, thaumaturgy requires a gem to cast through. I'm 99% sure that my Excalibur isn't made out of wood, and the gem on the hilt is probably not cutting it for blizzard spells.
My thoughts? Cross-class is fluff and Game Mechanic only.
