I like the divide. If you have magical aptitude, then magic comes easily to you, but mundane talents are hard, because your mind works differently. If you're a hero, then magic is hard and how to use it doesn't make much sense.

I don't think the costs should be the same because, to me, magic and mundane talents are very different things that don't need to follow the same rules.
