What makes this 'obvious'? The cost to buy one, two or more levels of a normal Ability is stated. The cost to buy a single point of Affinities (& Grimoires, etc) is stated. The only clear message is that buying 2 or more levels of an Affinity does NOT progress in cost as do normal Abilities. Either it isn't possible, or it costs the same per point. "Accidental omission" is not a possibility I would consider, personally, I see no reason for that assumption. I CAN believe it's not possible, but this is not stated anywhere. If it IS possible to buy more than a point at a time, the table says each +1 costs 3/6 points.
This would be easily settled if Roderick would care to comment.
