"Incant: Spells in hand get +1 cost" and "First spell gets consumed" is very annoying

[Davision]

The reason being I keep forgetting it and screw everything up which is very frustrating. I think those punishments don't add anything worthwhile to the game but I guess there is a reason for them. I wish there would be atleast some warning. Like "do you really want to mess things up for you?" Yes/No

It might just be that the upgrade to remove consume is just applied after all other effects. I remember reading somewhere that if you get the artifact giving spells a third upgrade slot, you can give one spell surge stone (adds consume) then eternity stone (removes consume) then another surge stone, and the net result is that the spell does not have consume. That is, a single eternity stone can counteract multiple surge stones. (Have not personally verified.)

Not sure I'd ever want to do that, even knowing I could, but it's an interesting interaction.
