Way I see it, everyone has a limited store of aether. Just like we all have a limited supply of blood. Loose too much blood and you go into shock, and can even die. And the conjurer quest line even touched on this. It is a shame then that the thaumaturge quest line completely ignored that, and instead says the main character uses their internal aether and have an over abundance of it to perform thaumaturge spells.
So when it came time to choose, I chose the conjurer path when it came to fire, ice and lightning elements for my character. Relying on the elementals themselves to supply their aether with a little bit of my character's to perform the spells. And because ninja's ninjutsu has something from all six elements, I RP as well... basically a rogue that still utilizes elemental's magic.
Also, when it comes to Aether, intaking too much aether, I take an FF7 approach. In FF7, when the character fell into the lifestream, he had a lifestream sickness. So my character doesn't ingest stuff that is aether enhanced, because of the inherent dangers of getting aether sickness. In fact, I believe one of the quests in the game even gave mention of aether sickness, I just can't for the life of me, remember which lol.
Also when it comes to Aetheryte travel, one to two teleports is my character's IC limit per day. Most of the time she rides a mount, takes a ship or an airship to get where she needs to be.
