OK! After discussion with my friendly neighborhood rules lawyer, I realize what was missing from my view of this. The first turn is spent casting, but does NOT count as the duration of the spell.

Turn 1: Cast spell, pay FP, Flame Jet erupts from your hand. Spell will NOW last for 1 second.

Turn 2: Attack with Jet. 1 second duration ends, decide to pay FP to maintain.

I knew it couldn't be the wonky double cost situation I thought it was.

Thank you all for being party to this discussion.
