Well, Odin traded his eye for knowledge, and hung himself in a tree for a few days for magical power.

A sufficiently dramatic ritual self-sacrifice could grant magical power... but it should inflict a price. It could work out as an adventure where the PC in question earns 5 points, gains 15 points or so of disadvantages, and gains the potential of 1 level of magery. This would unlock the magery, but it would take more time to get the skills to use it.
