I don't think we need a health attribute for that. Using the tweaks I mentioned above, that JLV has also proposed, we can avoid Conan the Wizard. They also more or less avoid the need for a Talent Points attribute.
My fourth attribute would be Presence (originally named Cool, but that doesn't really fit), which would be a combination of willpower and social ability. You'd roll against Presence to use or resist social talents or mental spells (or psionic abilities, if and when those are added). It would also be the primary attribute for clerical type characters, who would use it both for preaching and to represent their faith. In light of the above rules tweaks, it might be the talent point reserve used by clerics, psychics, and social characters, and provide the power reserve for the supernatural abilities of the first two.
