If the problem is that the gnome's access to several mana potions makes the boon too powerful, how about changing the cost from mana potions to something else?
I think it wouldn't be too far from JJ's theme, and it would also be much fairer overall, to have it cost something like a glyph rather than a mana potion. Of course, the piety cost/mp bonus would have to be changed to account for that, and there would be a need for some way to choose which glyph to sacrifice (unless it was chosen at random, which is even more fitting for JJ, but way too steep)
That which is not dead may eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die.

That, is an awesome idea! It destroys a random non-uncovered glyph, on the ground, in exchange for 3 mana! Or 4 mana!
We made an expansion and it is awesome. Really, you should check it out, especially if you're looking for some extra challenge.

Ugh, what to do...

It might be worth just changing Boost Mana and Boost Hp to completely different things.

So, instead of making it repeatable, make it a one-time boon. Make it cost 70 piety and give 5 MP / 25 HP and destroy 1 potion. It wouldn't benefit gnomes and halflings much more than other races.

The problem with this is that JJ would have no repeatable boon. I would just grab boost mana/health, chaos avatar, maybe last chance, then convert. The solution to this would be changing Last Chance to be repeatable.

I can see that. That could work very well.
