I'd been recently thinking that I regret describing Aether as "a landscape" rather than something more gaseous. Elemental Charge is supposed to represent a form of energy (think spell energy, but not) that builds up in your body and is expelled to manipulate the Aether. It's aspected insofar as it's easier to do Fire things with power from the Elemental Plane of Fire, but the Elemental Planes all work similarly enough and Warrior Mages are awesome enough to pull disjunctions, like using a Water Plane Charge to summon a Fire Plane domain. Back when I was originally working on the system, the "expellation" aspect was more obvious. Even if you didn't have enough charge for a function, you spent all your remaining charge trying and failing. That proved to be confusing to people, so I quickly and quietly tuned the system to its present condition. Messaging wise, important things to consider are the tripartite "dualism" that DR has going is in full effect, and higher end messaging is more blatant about what's going on with your body with more charge. -Armifer
