Elixir Field misnamed.

It being a real thing still doesn't make it a good name for this ability specifically. They have nothing to do with each other other than general monks-use-Chinese-martial-arts-stuff themes.

The amount of irony in this sentence is mind-boggling. They have 'nothing' to do with it, yet it has something to do with it. You may not like it, but trying to deny facts is just being delusional. Monks are the only DPS class that has it's own Heal ability (disregarding the life steal that DRGs have). Monks have the ability to heal, because of their real life lore. They are able to harness their own Chi to recover. Even in the game as you reach L60, you open all your Chakras (being the Indian equivalent to Chi) this gives you the ability to harness the energy that it provides in your own body to unleash a powerful force. The OGC of Elixir Field can also be explained by this as they must regain enough energy to unleash it again.

I know nothing about Martial Arts, but it doesn't take a genius to figure this out.

On that subject of not having anything to do with Monks, why not change Chakras too and rename it Leesins (forgive me...).

While i agree that Elixir Field makes sense in the justification of MNK, you're kind of wrong on this account.
PGL is the one that earns Second Wind. A term very often used by athletes, runners, boxers (in particular) etc. to refer to a burst of energy after one has initially hit 'the wall' of exhaustion where they feel they can't push on. After enduring through the wall, they usually find a resurgence of breath/energy and continue to push further. Given the class, and possibly the localization, there's nothing mystical about Second Wind at all, it's just a result of the PGL's fisticuff training.

You can say that, but if you look at the animation, the character definitely strikes a very martial arts pose with a small stamp. There's also the fact that during the animation you can clearly see energy being drawn into the pc through the atmosphere, so it's possibly a result of martial arts training.
