My inclination would be to give it a fixed base (i.e., 10); but at that point, why call it a Wildcard Skill anymore?

You can go with lower of Will and Perception - you need to be able to sense the magic (Per) as well as beat it into submission (Will). Or use different attributes for different tasks - Perception for sensing and divination, Will for control, IQ for analyzing...
