For spells such as History (Spells p.43), where the Time to cast is dependent upon energy spent, I read this as being the caster's energy expenditure, rather than the unmodified cost. That would be my assumption, based on the use of the term "energy spent" which implies the actual caster's expenditure, rather than "cost" which is clearly the unmodified energy requirement. However that seems like double-dipping.

I couldn't find this question anywhere on a search. Am I reading it right?
