That works very well for me, as a variant of the "increased cost" option, though I am still more fond of Robin's original 1 HP per +1 TN regardless of ability type. This does keep with the notion that multi-Mastery abilities are (or in this case, become) indistinguishable from magic. Bravo, Nick! :)
