This is true. But while they end up being about as good as an Accessory perk if you have the IQ / levels of Hedge Mage to cast them without spending FP, they're much less attractive if you have to spend FP on them.
Actually, the best model for a typical hedge mage might be someone who knows a few "buff" spells at a decently high skill level, supporting a larger team of totally ordinary professionals. Buffs can be a bad deal if applied only to yourself, but make you a very useful team member.
