Yeah, but like I said, in the game, there exists documentation that talks about how the mage council decided to do away with the awkward suffixes that they would have to completely make up a new precedent for each time a new, more powerful spell was added.

Instead favouring the more logical and straightforward naming convention involving just using numbers to denote power level of the spell in question.

I mean, talking about how currently there are only rank 4 skills as the highest tier... But what about in Shadowbringers? What about the expansion after it? The expansion after that?

What does it add to the game to run around casting "Cureuraz" as opposed to Cure X?

Personally, I did find it jarring to go to a numbered system from the iconic suffix system. But in the long run, it makes more sense. With there also being actual lore backing up the change.
