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.

Oh right, that makes sense. I thought by "All spells" you mean "All improvised spells", my bad.

In either case, you do not have a pool of points that do not have a primary use.

Hardcore improvisation is just a fluffy name for Using Abilities at a Default with Sorcerous Empowerment, isn't it?
