But, for 2), if aether replenishes itself as it seems to be the case for thaumathurgy and others, the conjurer class quest specifically shows that it doesn't when they draw only from themselves. That's the main gripe that I have and is bothering me... It just can't make sense if it replenishes.
Hmmm. If you are referring to the girl and such, they do not draw directly from themselves because they consider it too dangerous. They feel it is too easy to die drawing directly on themselves, apparently when healing in particular. They feel it is safer to draw on themselves to restore what they have taken from the area around them/elementals. It adds a buffer or something. Maybe the elementals will just not let them die in the process of putting stuff back, and that may have something to do with the whole "the elementals will not allow me to heal this person" thing. Â It also helps to remember that the Guild is a product of it's nation. Gridania has a lot of random arbitrary rules couched in the excuse of "because the elementals say so!" So does Conjury.
Mhh.
Maybe I did interpret something wrong with that storyline though. Or I saw too much in it.
I seem to remember pretty surely that they state that her mother died because her own body aether is only finite and it was a matter of time before she burnt all of it. It was confusing turned like that and maybe made me think that it wasn't regenerating.
It would seem more logical in your rationale that it actually replenishes, and that they just meant that she was bound someday to drain it too much by healing.Â
Good sides points too, on Gridania.
