The motto of gamers the world over is "I might need it later". I usually never use anything really special because of this.

Anyway, this is for balance purposes. As being able to use Histskin every few minutes would make the game ridiculously easy. Since you get these abilities from the very beginning of the game and can use the for basically free, they wanted them to be more than free overpowered spells (even though most are just repurposed spells).

Not sure what to do about these "Once a day" powers, but all I can really say is it sucks then you use Vampire's Seduction and miss. =(
