Ditto here. I think that coming up with a one-size-fits-all fix is not the correct approach here, but that setting-specific adjustments to the value of the costs FP limitation would be great.
For example, in a fantasy setting where the only ways to buy FP are personal FP bought in the normal way (with the usual restrictions about keeping it close to your HT score) and buying an ER to power magic, you could list the new values for
Costs FP (assuming FP of 10 from your table above) and
Draws from Magic Pool (assuming, say, an FP of 20). That would balance it better than the rules-as-written and not require any character-specific adjustments to the costs.
I do agree with the core issue, though. If Costs FP was a greater limitation but scaled slower that would be a fairer scheme for any way that I've used
Powers so-far.
