Ok, I guess the change made in Royal Road was because too many people wanted to spread the effect of the drawn card for all party members, and burn an Ewer or a Spire hurts less than burn a precious Arrow (Spear is meh).

It happens that when you were soloing you could burn Spire to get the extended effect and you could just use the Spear (Would have a little use, but little is better than nothing). Now you're forced to Shuffle your Spire, with the risk of getting another Spire and loose it or waste it... or Royal Road to use some weak effect on... your chocobo???

Sure thing that when you're in a group, you could make a use of it one way or another, but switching this effect made some thing that we had little use into something that we have no use at all... Please, share your opinons. ^.^
