That depends on how high the Threshold is, compared to the normal FP cost. Standard 30-8 Threshold on RPM is far different from the same on something with point costs closer to the Basic/Magic spell system (honestly, applying the 30-8 version of threshold to RPM sounds like a way of saying 'don't play a mage,' without directly forbidding it). As long as the 'energy' cost is fairly low (which I think is the case with Sorcery), or you have a very high Threshold and Refresh rate, it can work fairly well.
