Build your list of possible effects like normal abilities. Figure out which one is the most expensive and then:
M.A. (Cosmic Slotted) (Requires gestures, magic words, -20%; PM, -10%; Random, -10%*) Cost per slot: 5 points base + 3 points per point of abilities.
So if the most expensive ability is 50pts you would need:
Wild Magic Blast (50) [155]
add more slots if you want them to be able to cast more than one spell at a time.
*Random = you can not control what ability manifests when you use your power. It can be the most powerful ability you can do or a fart. I peg this at -10% modifier.

I don't understand these numbers at all. You end up paying 155 points to get an ability that can blast your target for as much damage as a 50 point ability ?
If the best it can do is a 50 point ability, but there is a good chance it won't do anything or do something completely unexpected I would look at it as a form of unreliable, so it should end up costing LESS than what the most expensive ability costs, not 3 times more.
