AFAICT the rules allow a PC to buy off a starting physical disadvantage (old wound) with points if a PC casts the appropriate spell (or an NPC does it for "free" for whatever reason), since all you are doing there is cutting out the temple's rates. The party is still having to pay for the FP cost one way or another. The temple rates are based on charged scrolls anyway.
