Just off the top of my head, it seems like this example could serve as a guide for that. Limitations on what the power can do -- including any limitations specific to that trait or to just a few traits -- could be used to adjust the base cost, whereas limitations on use (costs FP, takes extra time, etc.) would not. It isn't a clean break, but I think it is a concept that I might investigate. Doing powers as spells, where all the the spells have a shared set of limitations on use, make this desirable because of the -80% limitations cap. It might serve as a reasonable alternative to multiplicative modifiers.
