What if Talents always cost a certain fraction of what an attribute point cost? Like, I dunno, an IQ point worth of talents or spells always cost 1/2 of what an attribute point would cost.

That creates a tension between wanting to increase your attributes and increase your talents. I want this IQ point so I can buy that more-advanced talent, but then all my talents will be more expensive! What do?!

It might work better if attribute points didn't scale upwards in cost quite so rapidly, but I'm just spitballing.
