Why does the amount of light from the sun reflecting on the moon have a determining factor of how much energy it gives off?

Thats not what i meant. Its the Moons phase that makes the difference. When it is full it gives off so much energy that its abel to reach earth and thus we are abel to collect some of her energy

Why does the phase effect it? Moon phases are caused by light from the sun reflecting off the moon, therefore why would the light effect as much as people claim?

The phase of the moon is determined byt its position around our planet. Physically, these positions effect at least our water tides. On the subtle planes of existence, these positions effect the energy tides within the planet. It is the etheric side of the moon that helps us determine what type of Magick is good for a specfic time.

Forgive my typos as I am using my cell phone at the moment.

That there is a good answer. ;)

The reason the moon has an effect on the tides and other things containing water is due to the moons gravity and how far it is from earth as it orbits in an elliptical path. Magically the moon has different phases that correspond with the amount of light that is reflecting off of it. A full moon having the most amount of light and the one phase that can aid any spell. A waxing moon is best for bring things to fruition and a waning moon is best for banishing. Curses are best throw on the dark of the moon before it begins to wax again on the new. The reasons for the phases helping with magic is due to the power recognized by the practitioner. There is power in light. The different types of light have corresponding influences.

^_^ Also a good answer.

Sorry if my questions made me seem like a butt, I wanted people to get why exactly the moon affects people, rather than "It just does", or "It does because so-and-so says".

Also kts Waning can be used for Getting and waxing can be used for receiving things. that is what i read. ;D Thank you kts for straightening that out for me. :)

I always remember this by "Wax on, Wane off" Waxing energy to pull things to you and waning energy to ward things away. It always helped my son remember lol.
