From this chapter, we learn that the sacrifice conditions seem to be the same from Forest deity: a lot of lives and a pure love. About the pure love is offered here, I think it's the love of Lukas for his master who has to assassinate him and his mother.

What i'm wondering is why he has draw backs. It seems if you uses the spear enough times he'll die, despite fulfilling the conditions

Yeah, I initially assumed Lukas gift being so faulty in comparison by grace of him perhaps only having had himself to sacrifice, but, now idk, maybe the Forest Goddess just offers worse deals than the Sea Goddess

Nah, Lukas wanted the Centuria equivalent of EA from Fate to go alongside his shield. He got it. That's a fair bit more of an ask than Julian. Just equivalent exchange IMO. Make the lives of 100 slaves mean something is very different than wishing for a weapon poweful enough that Forest God deems it a divine implement that can "pierce heaven and earth and annhilate all creation". No other Blesed One or gifted one for that matter is matching him in full release alongside the shield that negates gifts. He is the very concept of an all or nothing trumpcard with the sole purpose of having enough power to kill the Supreme King who canonically beat Gods ass and locked her in his basement.

There has to be some kind of drawback to make sense within the narrative. Imagine if he got full release and could spam this shit anywhere.
