Again it's just a visual aid in lieu of standard, boring buff timers and recast timers - it has the exact same function but is displayed differently. It wouldn't be using MP as a resource like BLM or DRK. I'm not suggesting making MNK a magic job. Every single job uses aether in the lore - and theoretically should have their MP gauges utilized because of this. Why even give them MP bars at all if not to make some use of them?
