But they won't be able to do anything else with the points - no other useful skills, no cemented goodies or wealth, and most importantly no bumps.

In general this isn't a problem to my mind, but I can see it being awkward for Close Combat, and other meta-abilities. Therefore, I would use one of two solutions :

1. Don't allow meta-abilities, except magic.
2. Charge meta-ability increases at double rate. It then takes eight weeks at 3 hero points a game to get the half mastery.

I like the first one myself, but your taste may vary.

Cheers,
Graham
