How about doubling the flat rate once you pass a fixed number of talents/spells we would consider “normal” for an adventurer (higher than an average citizen, lower than a reknowned hero).it would double again after passing a certain point where the character is hitting the level of “legendary”. I’d consider the Mouser legendary.
So, that would be:
Adventurer: 300 XP buys 1 Spell or 300 X Talent Level buys 1 Talent.
Notable: 600 XP buys 1 Spell or 600 X Talent Level buys 1 Talent.
Legend: 1200 XP buys 1 Spell or 1200 X Talent Level buys 1 Talent.
Assuming those figures just as a place to start, where would we put the cutoffs for the three categories?

What about making some of the more powerful talents only available to characters with a certain number of total attribute points (hence closer to being legendary types)? Does this have any merit, or is it needless complexity? Or has it already been suggested somewhere? I admit that I have lost track of all the branches of this discussion.
