Each Realm Skill is IQ/VH, which means that efficiently designed magicians would favor very high IQ (14+ for dabblers and 16+ for practitioners). Then you have the cost of the Realms, which generally require level 3 for optimal utility.
Given that Realm magic is mostly supposed to be very rare and powerful anyway, limiting it mainly to the high-point-value characters is not a downside, nor is requiring high skill levels.

I'll have to look for it. Sounds interesting, and now I wonder if I read it at some point.
