Making sense of jet and jet-like spells

A point which so far no one really seems to have argued with, instead arguing with an imagined version of how I think the length of a round is tracked.

That point isn't controversial. It could be an interesting house rule that ATR increases spell maintenance costs but it's not RAW and I've never heard of anyone who tried it.
