This was my poor nomenclature for buying off the One Arm or One Leg (depending on which was lost) disadvantage that the dismemberment caused. I thought this would be required per this section of Th:RPM

Your regeneration vs. healing explanation and blog post (thanks for the link Kalzazz) make it pretty clear, I think. If you can do something in a roundabout way with an Altered Trait or directly with a spell effect... choose the spell effect.

The idea of this made me laugh as I hadn't considered it. Would kinda be worth the looks on my friends' faces when an opposing mage pops out of the bushes and halts the leg regeneration at mid-calf (guess what you get to cast again!). However, I'm also trying to sell them on this magic system and GURPS in general, so I probably won't be doing that.

Thanks for the feedback, this is my first post of substance on this forum (been lurking for a while) and this was just as helpful as I've read for others time and time again.
