As Anthony says, Powers are generally overpriced.

They are also irregularly and sometimes just oddly priced. See the huge divide between offense and defense (Innate attack v. Damage Resistance) as just one example.

The one thing I know about Magic in its' default form is that in my pretty extensive experience it is actually balanced in play in low tech fantasy games. Nobody who has objections to it ever seems to want to preserve that balance.
