It costs 375 points to obtain Reincarnation 1, but after that you get 
to keep it. Is it worth 375 points to be able resurrect a plant every 
checking period for the rest of time? I think so. Especially given that 
other players who didn't find it worth 375 points might find it worth 
15 points to have you cast it for them. And if somebody makes a plant 
that produces points.
