Picking up firesprites overrides Restoration and reduces its cooldown timer?

Is this supposed to happen?

I was testing out a built i came up with that relies on getting restoration frequently using ember of searing to spawn firesprites and ember of mercy to grand restoration when picking them up.

But I noticed that if I get the 12 second cooldown after getting solar weapon/ability kills with restoration, THEN pick up a firesprite, that 12 second cooldown is then imediately reduced to 2 or 4 seconds.

It seems like firesprites override the existing restoration and resets it completely.

Is this a known bug or a horribly unfriendly feature?

Edit: I just tested it and the same thing happens with healing grenades. If you throw a healing nade down when you've got a full restoration timer, the timer resets to like 4 seconds.

Is this supposed to happen? Shouldnt they be able to just extend the already existing cooldowns?
