The quality of the stone not only indicates how powerful the channeled aether is, but it could also influence what kind of aether was most effective when passing through.
Mechanically, it meant that casting Fire spells with a red gemstone buffed them. Casting ice spells with a red gemstone caused them to outright do less damage. Back when elemental resistance was a thing, this meant that THMs had to carry multiple weapons around, because casting fire spells with a fire rod on a fire elemental meant you did... double digit damage at level 50! Yaaaaay!

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
