It seems to me that powerstones and staff-mana both have their own important applications regardless of which version of the Aid spell is available.

I think a GM should reflect long and hard before allowing Mana from Aid spells to hang around for a minute, let alone if it can be kited along. Seems to me that would enable quite a few powerful tactics (e.g. pumping up wizards before initiating combat).
