Evastio, how many spells did Firion and Minwu have? Also, how strong were the enemies you were fighting?

I noticed that it did work as intended in Origins, but by no means did I level everything to 16. When I first had Maria using it, her Ultima was at 1 and I had 4 or 5 spells between level 3 and 6, the rest were 1. By end game, Ultima was level 7 and the other leveled spells were now 7 or 8.

By end game, Ultima was dealing 3x or 4x as much damage as when I first had it. But considering that it was dealing 70~80 damage at first, I'm not sure how you would feel about that.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think Ultima checks your Spirit or Intelligence, just your spells levels (and maybe weapons?) But it will raise your Spirit when used because it is a white magic.
