I wonder what a red mage will do to draw aether?
Bolded part is my emphasis, but take that + the book in Gubal HM about the Council of the Magi's decision to rename their Cure spells from Cure, Cura, Curaja, etc. to Cure, Cure II, Cure III, etc. for that exact scenario. Assuming some of the surviving Amdapori went back to the Shroud after the flood to take refuge in what became Gelmorra, or any part of the Shroud (after all, it was Hyurs that became Padjal) they would have had to change the way the magic worked, but kept the same effect of what they wanted.
The fairies, at least, seem to be based on Elementals.
