My feeling was that for a negative augment to effectively stop another form of magic from working at all, it would need to be a -17 augment. I won't work out the ability level that implies, but it's ridiculously large. And the "stops it completely" level of ability should be *normal* for a fully concentrated devotee.
Working the other way, do we really want a Concentrated person to get a +17 to their magical abilities?
I like the idea of everything being an ability, but having suggested this, I still don't see how to make it workable. Let's hope someone else is better with Numbers than I am (not hard!)
