Spirit magic and fetishes. Take a look at what happens when you release a fetish. Now think very hard about what size fetish to grant them, and how many fetishes per PC. Fetishes don't "grow" according to standard rules, but releasing one gives you a BIG augment.

And as I'm sure you've gathered, think before you start about augment limits. Do you want your players using 30 augments on every roll?
