They are NPCs in a game. Most DMs probably will not think this out to the level you have. Most DMs will probably just use MD when they feel it appropriate without sitting down to do the math and say "Hmmm, should my Evil Archmage really use this spell?" In fact, a given DM might purposely use the spell just for the off chance that the players can get a real rush when the Evil Archmage neuters himself. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Just because you might not use MD in your campaign does not mean that it does not get used in other campaigns. Your argument here, although mathematically worthwhile, is irrelevant to whether the spell actually gets used in the game.</blockquote>
