as of now level 3 umbral and astral only give 2 balls of elements, hopefully they're not just changing adding ball to the stance

They are.

Motions and effects have been changed for the following:
Statuses
Greased Lightning I / Greased Lightning II / Greased Lightning III / Astral Fire I / Astral Fire II / Astral Fire III / Umbral Ice I / Umbral Ice II / Umbral ice III

Just an effect change.

Although not explicitly stated, more specifically I believe this will be animated as one ball for each level of UI and AF you are under. Level 4 of these effects if they ever happen will likely only come with a level cap increase.

Pretty sure that's exactly what's going to happen, lol.
Evidence 3 fireballs when you AF cap is 3 can't really be a coincidence.

Sidenote: Excited to see what effect change GL got. But that's my monk alter-ego talking.
