Since the system really sucked for initiates, and made it important to gather and hoard ten points of divine magic if you wanted to become a priest (or go down ten points and be a POW 7 priest, or so) many people used the following fix (I seem to recall it was even published in Tales of the Reaching Moon... by Nick Brooke, I think).

All rune spells are reusable. Priests get the use of them back with the day in prayer/sacrifice per spellpoint, initiates get them back at the rate of one week of prayer/sacrifice per spellpoint.

More importantly for the initiates, everybody get's their spells renewed by attending (or holding) the high holy day services.
