Why does Unsealed Spellbook force you to use 3 different summoner spells?

It's really annoying because I have to plan super far ahead on how I'm going to use each summoner spell and it feels really bad when I can't use the same one again when I really need it. Isn't it already enough of a trade off that I'm giving up on all the high damage keystones for this keystone. It really sucks because there are a lot of champions that I feel could make really good use of the keystone but can't because they are forced to use other summoner spells they don't need like Ivern or Yuumi.

For example, when I played Yuumi on PBE before she released on live. I tried the keystone. I made use of ignite, heal, and Exhaust but because of the stupid must you multiple summoner spells before using one you've already used again. I had to waste time and other summoner spells just to use exhaust, ignite, and heal again.

Because if you weren't forced to alternate between spells it would be easily abuseable. On release and for a few months after it was used by everybody. Supports, Midlaners, Adcs,Top laners. it was just busted af

Wasn't that because it gave summoner spells 15% cooldown reduction?

You played yuumi with flash? xD

I didn't play her with flash, I took ignite, and exhaust. But I couldn't use them again because of unsealed spellbook.

But your basic spells come back after you use the "loaner" spell. What do you mean you couldn't use your basic spells again?

It forces you to use multiple ones otherwise you could just abuse using nothing but Clarity in lane or have flash on a shorter effective cooldown than someone who actually took flash.
