[edit] Gameplay Notes

You will note that persisting some spells doesn't make any sense as their durations are either already a fixed 24 hours or fairly long to begin with (1 hr/lvl for example). In the OC, the 60 sec / lvl spells last about half as long as the 1 hr / lvl spells. Persisting even these spells may not be worth it in such a case. However, since game time is determined by the module or persistent world being played, these spells may still be useful to be persisted.
