To tell the truth, I don't care that much about the cost of starting a new Grimoire - if this has to be left in to satisfy the Conservative Tribesmen, fine. The real game breaker is the cost to increase a Grimoire, which should be the same as the cost to increase an Affinity.
Spells costing double feats is not even that big a deal, though it does seem inexplicable to me, as spells are so close in effect to feats.
