Your system gives the player more control over the DI process than
traditional systems - sure, they don't get to choose exactly what
happens, but there is the guarantee of knowing that it *will* work. I
would temper that by saying that they don't get to choose how many
points get used, it's all or nothing. Personally I like the existing
random system - DI should be something unusual and special when it
works.
