Breaking spells and talents up into categories and giving a class cheap access to some categories but not others would be an option.
I counteract this by adding a 2 IQ-cost talent that lets heroes learn spells for only 2.
So a hero knowing 1 spell cost 3, knowing 2 cost 4, knowing 3 cost 6, and so on.

This is the list of talents I let wizards learn at normal cost: Carousing, Literacy, Most Mundane, Sex Appeal, Swimming, Bard, Charisma, Climbing, Priest, Business Sense, Diplomacy, Naturalist, Poet, Streetwise, Courtly Grace, Woodsman, Writing, Expert Naturalist, Mathematician, Scholar, Alchemy, Theologian.

Wait?! Adding IQ after character creation doesn't give more memory-points? That is really weird (and a little stupid) though after reading the rules it does seem to imply that...
