Only marginally, as a hero may use up to their starting AP anytime while they're still at positive AP anyway. It's easier than achieving a critical, and in that way makes increasing AP easier.

Well, it uses the AP loan table in an unusual way.

Well, the Animist rules are being rewritten anyway... and that only gives AP if the spirit duplicates an existing ability (and therefore only gives an augment to the ability).
