I can only imagine that part of the reason highly destructive magics tend to be illegal in Eorzea is precisely because the average person, who does not have a high enough aetheric potential to cast magic, is susceptible to harm from them with no way to defend themself.
Well, we know that the illegality of most of those highly destructive magicks are a result of the Great Flood of the 6th Umbral Era. Magic got totally prohibited and actively hunted down decades after, until people started to soften up a bit about it... But stigma remains to that day (cf Black and White magic).
