RAW: After Curry Favour action card, does the PC have to immediately use a maneuver to maintain?

(applies to arcane spells too)

FAQ page 7 refers to wizards and says this all happens in end of turn phase. As priests only really curry favour once they have a blessing requiring favour, they are less likely to need to hold onto large amounts of favour, but i'd use the same rule for priests too; end of turn.

Wizard sequence then:
Beginning of Turn Phase
Adjust stance free one space
Resolve any other beginning phase stuff

Middle of Turn Phase
Select Channeling Action Card
Make Channeling Skill Check
QUICKCAST
Select Spell Action Card
Make Spellcraft Skill Check
Resolve Action Card Effects

End of Turn Phase

1. Mark Tracking Tokens on Action/Talents used
2. Remove one tracking token from brief conditions
3. Remove one tracking token from action cards
4. Remove one tracking token from talents
5. Manage spellcaster Power/Favor (FAQ7)
6. Resolve any other End Phase effects
7. Player flips his token to show he is done with his turn to the next active player can start their turn.

If you do not quick-cast, you have to spend your free/extra maneuver RIGHT AWAY to avoid losing your newly gained power points.

I'd be inclined to leave it in end of turn EVEN if they don't quick cast. IMO, it's an easier process to follow if you always do it at end of turn, and whether they spend a manoeuvre immediately or at the end of turn doesn't really make any difference from a rules perspective, other than the player perhaps has to remember he has to spend one in EOT phase and so needs to decide carefully what manoeuvres, if any, he uses DURING his turn, due to fatigue costs...
