It seems like you might want to take it at a higher level of prep, but that means you get one use of your ability and then you have to prep. If you fail or stop, you're ability doesn't work for an amount of time equal to what it would require you to prep it. So:

Regeneration (Fast) (Preparation Required, 1 minute, -30%) [35] would let you gain 1 HP every 2 minutes assuming you could spend the time concentrating to reactivate your power. Failure to do so means you have to wait 1 minute and then try to activate it again. If you succeed you heal 1 HP and then you have to prep again, and so on as long as you want to use your ability.
