Spending 2 FP per turn will drop him quickly. The balancing factor to Psi techniques is the part where you can't really abuse them, unless you either convinced the GM to allow you FP Regeneration or some form of Leech to refill your FP.

While your psi PC may be able to win the burst damage race, he's in a bad place if the target dodges, blocks, uses Missile Parry, or otherwise avoids being hit by a shotgun. The Standard Magic mage with Magery 6 in a DF setting could throw an 18d fireball to open a fight, and then spend a few turns chugging Paut. Long story short, sustained damage capability matters!
