Power Pip chance is currently based on a percentage system, but once you exceed 100%, there's no use getting more.
Solution: Add a new type of pip (Ultra Pips?) that counts as 3 for your own school and 2 for others. At 80% Power Pip chance, you start getting this type of pip. More precisely, each power pip has a (PPC - 80%) chance of being an Ultra Pip instead. This would also make it feasible to just make the rank 5+1s and 6+1s spells be rank 11 and 12 spells respectively, eliminating complaints about shadow-enhanced spells breaking PvP.

Ultra pips will do nothing to stop shadow enhanced spells from dominating the PvP meta.

There won't be shadow-enhanced spells under the suggestion, because they will cost 11 or 12 pips. That's a minimum of 4 turns even if you gain ultra pips every round, compared to 3 currently (assuming you get lucky with shads). And to even gain ultra pips half the time, you'd need 130% PPC.
