I've intended to work out the maximum expected augmentation for each ability TN and introduce a house rule that an augmenting ability can apply that amount of augmentation without dice rolls.

I already have a house rule that, at the referee's discretion, augmentations can be automatic (that is, not require an unrelated action).

Together, those two house rules can model classic magic weapons and armour quite well.
