How it functions in combination with living organisms and how much of a "life energy" it truly is. (Makolol) There seems to be some disagreement and disconnect over how much it powers life itself considering the Garleans continue to prosper with a distinct lack of it. Logic would follow that Eorzean organisms are more naturally rich in it due to environment but there really isn't any solid legs for the conjecture to stand on.
Some more details on aether poisoning/sickness would be cool too.
