No. With 1 month duration, and considering the time needed to recover the MP to launch the spells, you will not be able to act for very long. 1 day per spell, 5 spells on the caster, and as described, the other members of the teams buffed up (let's say 6 total member in the team) and you can act ... 0 days buffed up. You need at least 6 month duration to buff up the team as described.

Nope. I've written 4 POW per enchantment (1 for the spell and 3 for the enchanted manipulation).

I wasn't speaking hypothetically when I said this started being a problem quite early; all it requires is someone who gets Int and Power spirits early on; once he also gets to the point where he can do Enchantments it ramps up quite quickly. And since a sorcerer doesn't have a lot he needs to do with Power sacrifices otherwise (unlike a priest or shaman) there's nothing much stopping him from doing that.

Nope because:
1 - spells stored in INT spirits can not have enchanted manipulation. The only case when you can have enchanted duration is for a spell matrix.
2 - sorcerors are like all other spell casters, and have use for ALL enchantments (armoring, strengthening, binding).
3 - by putting POW in his fetch, a shaman can get rid of most of the binding enchantments AND becomes almost imunes to magical attacks.

Just try some nasty POW spending tactics with a shaman or priest, with the same time, money and POW requirements, and compare the results.

Runequestement votre,
