The easiest way to do this (as I am doing so for my own present/future
campaigns) is to make the Phlogiston its own plane coexistant with the
Astral. This allows you to create Quintessence-based spells that allow you
to keep most of SJ's spells unaffected by the shift of the rules and allow
you to rule that the crystal spheres are just rather large portals of
unknown origin that have identifying markings to determine the
world/system/plane they lead to.
