Okay. I get it. The intent is to go "Level up your damn spells instead of leaving them at 1 for lower FP costs."
Here's the major issue, though. Who lacks the SP to sink into it? Lower levels. You know, the ones who have the pathetically poor FP pool by comparison?
I think the absolute highest FP I have on a low level character is 197 FP on a level 24 Wyverntouched Evoker with nearly perfect will growths, Exceptional will, and various FP bonuses from gear. Remove all those bonuses and suddenly 3 spells has it completely drained.
"Oh, Arcane Tattoo!" Sure, that should always be the first point you spend on Evoker anyways. But when the choice comes down to a 40 FP Magaisendo vs a 45 FP Isenshi, where would you rather apply that percentage based FP cost reduction?
Long story short, this guarantees that spells ideal for levelling... can't be used without sinking many levels into them first. Which is counterproductive.
