Default Slotless MA other than Cosmic Power Pricing?

what do you think is a fair price for slotless Modular Abilities other than Cosmic Power
the way I think about it is Cosmic Power is Modular Abilities with no limitations

Just start with Cosmic Modular abilities and add limitations.

Preparation Required is particularly appropriate for slotless MA that aren't instant.

I'm trying to get help in building ones that are the equivalent of the slotted ones
like how would you build Super-Memorization as slotless (what limitations on Cosmic Power)
and it should have a point cost comparable to the slotted version

It would not have a point cost comparable to the slotted one, because it isn't slotted.

But you're basically looking at Preparation Required and an Accessibility for Super Memorization

I meant in the same way Slotted Cosmic Power is comparable to regular Cosmic Power
comparable means that you can compare them not that they are close to each other

Sorry, my fault. I found the answer and deleted the post. Thank you for replying though.

Edit: As GM I'd be very leary of allowing an ability with the kind of reality adjustment that would be needed to simply wish Rank, Status, Reputation etc into being.

I'd probably avoid it myself, but it's nice to know its available and how much it costs, should I feel bold :)
