Its usage is a lore fixture, but what is the limit on it? In FFXIV 1.0, wasn't it limited by personal stores of aether, so that you could literally be too exhausted to teleport multiple times?
Now it somehow only costs gil. I wonder if THAT part is based in lore, as well.
I play it as it still requires a significant control of one's aether, and can be draining if done too frequently. The gil is simply a tax instated by the city states to cover the rather high cost of rebuilding the aetherytes post-Calamity.
^^ Â I agree with this. Â Especially considering that there's an entire questline (the Thaumaturge quest, in case you're wondering) that involves someone born without this control. Â And it's explained in that questline why it's so dangerous for them.

The way I play Xha'li is that his aether is unsettled when teleporting changes the 'predominant' element in the local environment.
