it has to do with weaknesses
magic damage is not stronger than the other types for most nightlords (although it does do a bit better on some field bosses) and terra magica only buffs magic
so you're not actually stronger if you're trying to use a better incantation than a revenant, she has the 10% pumpkin head damage
as you noted compare the ult buff at that point, recluse if she takes her relic gives a 15% to her allies for 15s I thought? revenant gives 25% to allies for 30s on top of the 15s of death immunity which actually means a lot lot more in terms of party dps when there are dangerous attacks going out or you're massively underleveled for a field boss but now not afraid to hit it
also for as much as everyone likes to say recluse has infinite FP, it's simply alright, revenant just hits the towers and gets a bunch of starlights to blast bosses regardless anyway
And while there's certainly some argument to be made that oh recluse needs less starlight shards, by the end you will have those starlight shards regardless and failure to do so is either bad routing or just the team was not pulling their weight so you had to pop a lot of them, and if we're discussing run smoothness then well recluse gets a lot of good incantations in her pool by default
