Keep in mind that the world sees magic charged (ie, how it's used) in one of 2 ways, Umbral, or Astral. One is destructive and hard to control, the other is passive and controlled. The charge of a magic can completely change how it works. Example, charge a fire spell one way, it's just a flame in your hand can be moved around and controlled easily with little destructive tendencies, but charge it the other, and it's a destructive fire that is hard to control to where it could even damage the caster. The ancient BLMs seemed more attuned to the destructive type, while the modern day BLMs use THM as a base to help control the charges of the elements. Note that the fire spells we use are actually the controlled type, and the ice we use is the more destructive type, while our lightning spells change on whether they're single target (controlled) or AoE (destructive).
