That 5 turns limit is pretty common for skills that have x time effect (perhaps with the exception of Cu's protection from Arrows). It's to add an RNG element in the mix.

Also remember that it won't activate unless you actually crit, so you can definitely make it last indefinitely if you keep missing the crits. If it lasts indefinitely, you can simply wait to stack all the buffs (like 1 turn mana burst) before critting. Too good to be true lel.
