Yes, ER reserve affliction doesn't really make for a good spell. Aside from the potential abuse, I wouldn't like the "using magic to generate magic" notion.

I'd build it as a gadget: Powerstone (ER pool; Breakable: item*; Can be Stolen: item*; Slow Recharge: Daily -60%). The interaction with PMs and ER is just a bit odd. You normally don't want the PM as part of the ER limitations.

The above ability can be treated as a normal spell, it's just not worth having unless you can keep it active all the time (which requires taking it at full value anyway). Losing it could be "fixed" by enchanting another item for which you could use the normal enchanting times.

Sorcery p30 has a value table.
