If it's prior to play, it's not in play. (I would let someone use it against last session's play.)

That or any other hero point.

Depends on how you describe it; edge makes the most sense.

Since you'd augment Close Combat, makes sense.

You do have the standard feats and you do cast them at a penalty; this is called improvising.

This is also called improvising. Since such a feat is one your character has never heard of, this is where I might use a -5 penalty. Then again, I might go with Peter, and say that it's just the normal -3 penalty for improvising.
