How about this:  The Definition of an Esper is someone who is capable of emitting AIM.

And someone is only capable of emitting AIM when certain physical and mental conditions are met. I mean, the whole Power Curriculum is designed to create similar chracteristics, like the Gemstones have, in Espers (to be).

So, in the end, it is the modification of the body (and the mind) of an Esper that makes her/him an Esper.

I think, Sherry Cromwell was talking about those different bodily systems when she was talking about her experiments with Ellis (the human).

I don't think, that Gemstones (or Esper in general) are unable to use magic just because they are "talented" (Refering to KingWizards Comment above). At least, I wouldn't be satisfied with this answer. Magicians cannot use Esper-Abilities because they're not able to emit AIM (my point of view), that's reasonable. But what hinders Espers to use Magic? In my opinion, we still have not been given a satisfying answer in the novels. Because if the Groundwork of Magic is something like channeling life force (through certain breathing techniques for example), why can Esper not do the same? I can't think of any part in the texts where this is properly explained. (You might remember more than I do, so I'm sorry if I missed the obvious.)
