Eh....
For most spells skill becomes meaningless above 21 (this keeps skills at 16 in Low Mana Zones)
except to reduce casting time and cost. The bonus to Thaumaturgy is likewise true, it's meaningless after a certain point (I'd say beyond 26ish?). So to my mind if you're building an advantage that does 'half' of what Magery (above a certain point) does... it should cost somewhere around half.

I can get behind Reduced Spell Cost [30/lvl].

At -80%, multiple levels of it become a staple of every new character I create.

No joke.

For the record, I think spell cost reductions at specific plateaus is by far the worst rule in regular GURPS.

I've toyed with stripping it and reduced casting time from the skill and making them their own penalties.
