Some of your proposed limitations are redundant. For example, if you can only use Luck to fix critical failures, then by definition it only applies to your rolls. (Remember, the only time unmodified Luck can alter someone else's rolls is when you force them to reroll an attack roll made against you.) So what you really have here is the following. Note that "Critical Failures Only" is intentionally a very weak limitation because rerolling critical failures is the #1 use of Luck!

Luck (Accessibility, Only critical failures, -5%; Aspected, Magic, -20%; Nuisance Effect, Cannot choose whether to use it, -5%) [11]
