There are modal spells that made such a structure neccessary.
So the effect text can be dependant from the choosen mode(s). If he gets for example a target text (targets are mode dependant).

Normally you get the active modes (99,x % only one) with ability.getModes().getSelectedModes(), if a spell is on the stack.
Where / when do you need the effect text?
