Either an average or the lower of caster's IQ or donor's relevant physical Attribute.

Providing a discount or penalty to the final cost of spell for the appropriateness of the reagent used can achieve this as well.
Master thief's dexterous hand give -50%, arthritic mummy hand +15%. The caster can then choose to either just enjoy the easier casting, or instead put 'gives a bonus' into the spell with the saved energy.
