The issues I see with the whole Magic Council thing is that, from a lore standpoint, they did a pretty shitty job.

The naming convention they came up with "to avoid confusion" is actually really counter-intuitive and inconsistent. SE can easily fix this, seeing this only happens with the english translation, and give everyone a simpler and more consistent magic system.

Numbers for potency, suffixes for targets: -ga AoE around target, -ra AoE around caster. Easy as that.

It really bugs me that magic is all over the place with numbers and names. It goes against everything else they do to "streamline" and make the game more accessible.
