The time cost has more or less the same effect as an XP cost: it reduces the number of appearances of these spells in the game.The only spell for which I believe this rule is unfair, is Permanency. I think waiting more than 1 year between each casting is unfair, considering that often the effects of permanency are dispelled. I would rather convert the XP in GP cost for such spell.OTOH, I think the time restrictions would work well enough for resurrection-type spells too.</blockquote>
