Specifically when it comes...I guess to the major magical classes of FFXIV. Riven I play as IC Arcanist, but I've had the understanding that basically should she lose her grimoire in combat or if it's knocked away from her, she's down a significant amount of raw power to fuel her spells. Is that legitimate lore, and if so, does it apply to the other magical classes?
If it is lore, is it possible to say that an Arcanist can have a few 'cantrips' on their person that doesn't require power from the grimiore? Or have enough training to be able to have a surplus of aether power to use some spells until they can get their book back? So far I had the thought to counter that, Riven carries a smaller spellbook on her person with just the basics needed. And she certainly does have the training and skill to be able to use cantrips/have a surplus of aether.
