The influence gained from this ability follows from the formula: (Number of adjacent territories +1)^2 * Era^3 * 15.
You have 5 adjacent territories (I believe they have to be in your sphere of influence to count, not sure though) which yields (5+1)^2 * 2^3 * 15 = 4320.
So the influence gain works as intended, but I agree that it is poorly balanced.
That you can use it on territories that are already in your sphere of influence is apparently not intended, but I don't know for sure.
This is actually the result of a fixed bug, the ability had been calculating the formula based on the wrong territories this whole time. Now that it's working probably the numbers might need to come down a bit, but people have always been complaining that the aesthete ability was too weak, so time will tell.
