The thing that is not very disclosed, not even by the Encyclopaedias, but something clearly perceived ingame, is how vast spellcasting (more specifically Arcanima) is.

While Thaumaturgy and Conjury seems to manipulate the basic elements for quite raw effects, Arcanima seems to revolve around all sorts of spells, even similar to how magic schools are in DnD - it seems to be the 'basic' spellcasting school in XIV, but its effects are seldom catalogued... You'd expect most of mage characters knowing at least the basics of Arcanima as well, especially if such character is a scholar-type.

One thing I wish they worked on was a bit more detail on all sorts of Aetherial arts, more specifically magick schools and what are the extents of each's capabilities.
