Well if you want Thresholds to be tougher just do as you suggested above and change the ratings around. Also add features to suit such as the penalty for casting magic even if inside.

The Bestows a Penalty was specifically a way to make a similar thing using RPM. Another thing though is you could use RPM to strengthen existing Thresholds. Should have thought of that the first time I replied.
Lesser Strengthen magic can double a Threshold rating and Greater Strengthen magic can do more, maybe maximize it.
Or use Bestows a Bonus and Lesser Strengthen Magic to increase the rating with more granularity.
