I wonder if players would think this was such a great deal: if your HPs are negative, then you can't get a reliable bump, or increase abilities, which is a bit nasty.>>

Mystcism is still supposed to be a bit of a difficult practice. It needs to be pretty distateful as it is quite powerful (IMO), especially once you get past the point where you are ever going to get positive HP again (heck, I'm on -100Hero Points, I'll bump this roll by abusing mystical techniques and I'm still only on -101)
