Last time I played my Verglas, they still did over 100 damage (40 Will, 13 power weapon) in a decent area with Expanding Ice. The damage is lower than Spear, sure, but the AOE is incredibly easy to use, making it a fast favorite in clearing dungeons. While I wouldn't complain with an FP cost reduction, it's not absolutely needed.

It's like comparing Libegrande to Magaisendo. Yeah, Libegrande might have that higher single hit, but Magaisendo is just so easily spammable that it's a shame to pass up on.
