A watery mini-rant

As I said I leveled my WoW mage from 44 to 47 this weekend. And that again made me wonder why they set up the mage's summon water spell the way it is. The various drinks that recover mana have a level restriction, and that restriction goes up in steps of 10 levels. There is level 5 drinks, level 15 drinks, level 25 drinks, level 35 drinks, level 45 drinks, and so on. So when you hit level 45, you naturally prefer the level 45 drink, which gives three thousand mana over the level 35 drink which gives only two thousand.

The mage water summoning spells also increase every 10 levels. But instead of going up at levels 15, 25, 35 and 45, they go up at levels 20, 30, 40, and 50 etc. Thus a level 45 to 49 mage can only summon level 35 water, and ends up rather using the level 45 water he can buy for cheap enough. Then at level 50 to 54 he'll use his summoned level 45 water, until at level 55 it again becomes better to use bought water.

Why can't I summon level 45 water at level 45, where I need it?
