What about a flat rate of 300 XP per talent point? That's 17 talent points a year, assuming no attribute increases at all and 100 XP per weekly game session (and an optimistic 51 sessions a year). Rick counted 196 total talent points in ITL, which would take
eleven years to purchase at 300 XP per talent point.
Assuming Rick Smith's Grey Mouser starts out with IQ 14 and 14 talent points and the purchases the remaining 17 points of talents at 300 XP per point, it would take someone 3 years to build him, without buying any spells (assuming the Grey Mouser is a 40-point character). One year for the talents (5100 XP), two years for the attribute points (9300 XP).

To me, 17 talent points per year, one talent point for 3 sessions worth of XP, isn't too quick or overpowered.
