Strange, but then player characters often are.
I'd lean towards making this an expert in magic -- you might be able to detect it, analyze spells, or maybe even augment magic from a different realm than usual. I wouldn't want to be a generic "I can do magic" ability, even if it would be limited by the rating, and likely subject to specific ability penalties.
Its use in augments will be limited by the "keep it fresh" rule, so again it wouldn't necessarily be overpowering.

Maybe you're a builder (even though that's usually the Motion rune)?
