Let's start with the UES stuff. For a start AIM isn't the energy source of espers. It's just a random byproduct created by their powers, which are powered by nothing. (They work based on Subjective Reality)
Anyway, this stuff doesn't qualify for UES. Like, lots of those characters do have stats that apply all around due to various circumstances (e.g. basically all saints fight physically) but Idol Theory gives a hard no to scaling magic to physicals, just because you can use magic to boost physicals. Magic in ToAru just is generally not as easy as Energy Input = Energy Output. Each spell, depending on how well it is designed, can have any degree of output. As Birdway and Index demonstrated when creating Gungnir, given the right setup, a Tier 6 magician can call forth Tier 1 power using the right spell. The power of a spell is primarily decided by which supernatural thing it calls upon and how well it does so (i.e. how good the replica is, which is why saints who are natural replicas of history saints have such a big advantage).
As such physical boosting spells are not necessarily equal in strength to every other spell a character uses.
Edit: Also just commented on a bunch of those calcs, in case ya don't get notifications from your blogs. (Fandom can be weird)
