Oof. Is it that difficult to understand the idea of equivalent exchange? You trade aether for more aether. it's really not that hard to grasp and makes quite a bit of sense. Also, you remember that Zodiark was sentient due to Elidibus being his heart? He would have known what was possible and not possible and would have been able to communicate that, even, if they'd needed to ask.
