Re: Spells that ought to cost every minute
I've been thinking along similar lines, though I took it a bit further. In the process of moving the spell list into my 'tiers' framework, I decided to re-evaluate duration (as well as ST costs) for many of them. I ended up aligning each spell to one of the following durations...
Immediate Short - 15 seconds (3 turns) Medium - 1 minute (12 turns) Long - 1 hour Very Long - 1 day Permanent @tomc has the right idea as well... there should be different design assumptions for spells in RPG vs. arena play.

Re: Spells that ought to cost every minute
I changed the various DETECT spells in the other direction, though... those are designated as 'immediate' spells.

Re: Spells that ought to cost every minute
Yes, but that now kicks in after the initial 'short' duration. So for example, the wizard would start paying the maintenance cost to extend SUMMON WOLF on the spell’s 4th turn and each turn thereafter.

Re: Spells that ought to cost every minute
I was thinking the same thing. Limited uses (per day?) is also worth considering.
