I would say it is taken by most casters because having a useful ability against just undead and constructs beats all the alternative choices which are absolute weak-sauce and/or do not work properly. Aside form using it against undead or constructs - I never use it for the natural 1 chance and given the spell point cost that would be a poor usage of the spell. There are enough tools that work reliably to use a caster is never going to waste spell points on something that only works if the enemy rolls a 1.
There has been alot of emphasis on knocking casters down a peg (or multiple pegs) in recent years. I hope there is some attempt to address the major problem casters have that prevent them from filling dps spots in raids - single target damage.
Don't be a figjam.
