Of course there is the tiered option to do stuff like "3 Spell Magery" -70% or "5 Spell Magery -60%", which is actually a BETTER deal than taking One Spell Magery twice if you specify this for your favorites.
If Magery is a learnable advantage, it might be interesting in a 'magical school' game for a lot of mages to start out with One-Spell Magery, and need to develop it to less limited forms, or possibly to decide whether they want to proceed in widening their capabilities, or limit themselves to being more powerful in one college, or one section of a college (e. g. 'Lightning Spells Only' or 'Acid Spells Only').
