after you get the storm of your choice castable without wisardy enhancer with vehumet I dont see why would I favor Vehu over kiku. Kiku gives you so much - infinite mana with sublimation, not having to worry about food, hordes of simulacra and protection from torment/death curses (and possibly mutation immunity in form of necromutation). the only backside is that vehumet sends you to the goddamned abyss which I really really hate - but again with storm spells online this pain is much less.
Kiku is really good, of course. But the main advantage of Vehumet's wizardry boost is that it lets you cast stronger spells faster, and then you can leverage that as a discount on experience so that you still have lots of fire power for your point in the game, but also don't suck in terms of EV, HP, being able to hit stuff, etc. On a long enough time line I guess the wizardry boost is eventually eclipsed, but not for a very long time (unless you are drastically neglecting core skills like dodging, a weapon skill, and fighting). Also you get better range and MP on kills, which are very powerful passive abilities. Taking Vehumet specifically just to get one spell (especially with his revised gifting system) is a waste.
