So as I understand it, from replies and from a small amount of digging i did on the side; the main reason the Elementals took issue with White and Black magic as seen in Amdapor and Mhach was, less because of the prevailing political conflict and more because of the massive toll on the Aether that the magicks had. For an example the large stone guardians used by the Amdaporian for city defense were in essence very similar to primals in that they were a gigantic mass of Aether. Given their proclivity in using these effigy the amount of Aether taken from the land would be enough to cause a sever imbalance in the surrounding land. That I get. However, and please forgive me my ignorance since i have not played any of the SMN quest line. Is this not a problem that has been solved already by the SMN? Are Egi not simply a more controllable, Aether efficient simulacrum of Primal energy? I kind of find it a little hard to believe that in this timeline we the WoL, would not be a proper steward for that lost magic, and that it would not be a far more efficient use of Aether given our story given reservoir of personal Aether. I'm honestly just kinda bummed that WHM is simply given title of healer when White magic can and was so much more fearsome.
