That's because you can loose 'em, what you're proposing is something permanently added to your character. You can't ever loose it like you could a magic ring or staff.

Those things are more about setting effects and player GM agreements, than any sort of magic system.

In other words, if a player has a PC which starts out as X race and the player wants the PC to become Y race, then the costs associated with that are a roleplaying/planning issue between the player and the GM, what the PC actually does is simply the color effect which the GM then decides is necessary.

Which since I was asked for opinions I gave: I would require a trigger ritual and points. That has worked in the past for me and seems fair.

Just a general question about permanently cursing people:

If I cast a permanent spell on Joe which permanently grants him the Cursed disadvantage (using any of the above talked about mechanics for handling permanent spells). Do I have to pay character points for that? If so how many?

Second question is similar to the first:

If I cast a spell on a corpse to permanently raise it as a zombie how should I handle that? Should I handle it as giving myself an ally?
