Let's say -5 to all resistance rolls for 1 minute. What do you think this should be worth?
The problem with that kind of limitations is that they can be *very* bad if someone know about it and exploit it, or during battle, but do absolutely nothing when there is no hostility around.

Treating it as an "aftermath" : it doesn't hinder magery, it take effect "after."
So, it is half the cost of a temporary disadvantage limitation.
5 level of Magic Susceptibility would be -15cp, so -8% for aftermath(Magic Susceptibility 5) (last 10 minutes)
