I need some less powerful versions of common power modifiers from
GURPS Powers for an upcoming game, but wondered whether I can make things like Mundane Countermeasures worth -5% if I lessen the penalties.
For instance, I want a Nature power modifier (p. P28) worth -10%. Instead of taking out a Mundane Countermeasure, I want it to read:

Technology also impairs your power (-5%). You're at a penalty equal to half the TL (round off) of the most advanced manufactured item you're carrying, wearing, or riding in or on.

Notice that I lessened the penalties of for the first set of countermeasures, and have the TL penalty to powers round
off, instead of up.
Is this a wise tactic to use in my game? Should I balance the power modifiers better?
