    A visual display of Aetherflow amounts is a crutch for new scholars and is something you should very rapidly be transitioning out of.

    You should be mentally tracking your remaining stacks as it coincides with enemy mechanics. Generally, you should be using 1 Lustrate every 20 seconds to maximize your Aetherflow MP efficiency.

    Relying on visual feedback for Aetherflow distracts you from what you should be focusing on and keeping in mind, which are predictable mechanics and unexpected events (critical damage, party members stepping into AoE cleaves, etc).

    If anything, a visual display harms, rather than helps, new scholars. This shouldn't be implemented.

    I really don't see how this would be detrimental to new scholars since you can see how many stacks are left on your status bar. if anything its aesthetic. just my opinion though. there is no way I consider myself an expert scholar.
