But in excess of the prerequisite, I want it to count for a bonus. If a spell requires Magery 1, I want characters with Magery 2 to be at +1 to cast that spell.

You also have to take into account that characters would be at a penalty to use non-spell IQ skills in the middle of combat unless they waste maneuvers switching their magery on and off. Hefty penalties, too, in the case of higher levels of magery. That's a pretty huge limitation, worth way more than a net -10%.
