Again, the issue is that using your innate spheres as Dark Spheres but then arbitrarily making them unavailable for subsequent casts of Unleashed Power would seriously harm clarity and not make for particularly intuitive gameplay, since the number of Dark Spheres on the field would not accurately reflect the number of Dark Spheres you'd cast on your next ult. The value of her three base spheres is low on their own, but as in-game objects they have a tremendous amount of potential, potential that is untapped on Syndra both on live and in your rework.
