I never let players design AA wholecloth, so I can keep things balanced, but if you do, what it comes down to is that game balance is fiction anyway.
Without the FP cost its not balanced against most magic systems.
I tried my own AA system based on something else and me and the GM were concerned about overuse compared to the party mages. So costs FP was added.
However thats only a problem when up against mages who after all were given the FP cost for the same reason. So they didnt outshine warriors too much.
