Well, I felt the same way - how could they NOT anticipate this. The first time I read the rules to RQ3 and looked at the Sorcery duration table I knew this was coming, and it didn't take long to figure out how (ahh, Free Int limits it, ah-ha, you can store spells in spirits). I'd always just figured that was the way it was supposed to be.
But someone over at RPG net who is actually credited on some early RQ3 stuff swears that it was unforseen. I looked for the link earlier but the search at RPG net is not working and the sheer volume of threads over there made me give up my manual pouring over pages of old threads. I have to take his word for it, as I haven't met the people who designed and tested RQ3 and he has.
