Warning: doesn't matter. In game they're merely managleable resources.

That's a good point. It is another example of things not being properly researched during development.

And another example of 'nobody cares and it doesn't matter'.

I care because words mean things in the real world.
When people read words that are misused in the media, they mistake the meaning of words in the real world, and then I have to correct them.

While Ki is like a burning cauldron, Chi is about breath and length of Breath
Actually, qi, chi and ki (and other derivatives) are all about internal energy.
How that is defined is filtered through the culture that is using the term. While qi may be defined in China as "lasting breath," seen through Japanese eyes (ki), it could well be a cauldron of swelling energy.
The literal translation of the character "qi" is steam, likened to the steam rising from a bowl of rice or from one's breath seen on a cold day.
