Improvised spells specifically can never last more than 3 minutes. Wizards can still learn buff spells that lasted longer. I didn't like the fact that they would pay the FP cost once, rest for 10 minutes, and then the subject would have that benefit for the full duration (sometimes days or weeks). Having the FP eaten up until the end of the spell duration forces them to choose a small group to cast on (conveniently about the size of an adventuring party!) before they are seriously down on FP all the time. Without this modifier a buff that lasted 7 days could theoretically be maintained on hundreds of people at a time by a single wizard.
