>A shame she'll probably be turned into a human at some point or whatever.
Good news! I won't say how, but fucking hell, I didn't think they'd go this path.
The series is Dragons of Mother Stone by Melissa McShane.
The covers art of the books is atrocious.

>Which games do buffing right?
I like the way Dragon Age Origins does it with the whole idea of sustaining the buff taking a chunk of your casting capacity beyond just the resources spent to cast the spell itself.
I think it's a good medium between D&D's current concentration mechanic and the older stack EVERYTHING.
Not that it isn't fun to have a character that can stack tons of spells and paid the price to be able to use certain buffs in ways other characters can't, like using Persist Spell Metamagic in D&D 3.5e to make certain spells that would normally last a couple of minutes last a whole 24 hours, making the buffs numerically stronger, etc.
It's a fantasy that appeals to me quite a bit for some reason.
My current tabletop character is subpar without his 24 hours buffs (via Divine Metamagic), and with them he's on par with the pure melee fighter of the group, and most of his buffs benefit the group as a whole too, with the counterbalance being that he could have had more flexibility and general power if he instead focused on just casting spells, instead of cosplaying as a warrior.
It works well though, he's potent, benefits the group in several ways, and he has enough toys, and enough moment to moment decisions to make during gameplay, that I'm never bored playing this character.
