You cannot say, that you pay more for an augmented power compared to a scaled spell (same/similar actual spell/power level), as this is balanced via the flexibility and thus already taken care of.Besides, the higher level you go (6th isn't really high yet), the less often you'll use your full alotment of spells in a day. My 12th level sorceress often has half her slots open at the end of the day. Then you will (hopefully) really see how much advantage it is to be able to squeeze all PP in the same time it takes to cast half your alotment of spells. Because you are then, on an average day, about twice as powerful as a compareable arcane spellcaster.Unless, of course, the DM goes to great lengths to prevent you from doing so, which is nearly impossible without serious railroading-style action usually.Leave some PP reserve in case something happens, and you're still much more powerful and still able to contribute if something happens later.ByeThanee</blockquote>
