This is the limit now. You have 20 points of which you can spend no more than 10 on any ability. A counter-example that spoke to eliminating that limit would be to say if you wanted to burn 20 points to begin with Strong 17W, you can. Is that what you meant? Or is there some other limit that this speaks to?
Further, if the characters are "truely" mythic, then even 17W, less than full mastery described at starting at 1W2 is unobtainable to starting heroes. Have you considered starting characters at a level waaaay more powerful than this? For "truely mythic" what about starting all keywords and abilities at 15W, and giving out 200 points to spend, no more than 40 on any single ability? Or something like that?
