The burden of proof is on you because you are asserting that JMS intended elestaves only for A/M's.
At the time of their release in JMS, elemental weapons were only intended for archmages which was why they included a -25% reduction for holy as well as the opposing elements.
Evans/battle mages were not implemented yet and they were created due to the superiority bishops
held over archmages.
Now that everything has been changed with big bang, there really isn't a need for the -25% reduction rate except for preventing possible inflation for archmages who wish to purchase the weapons.
