I was planning on a high frequency of appearance, and using the modular ability to limit the maximum power gadget the character can use, but that comes out too expensive. I was considering, as an alternative, several possible systems. Using a leveled advantage like Magery and dividing the materia into levels based on point value with each level of Magery giving access to a higher tier of materia, or just having skill, price and space being the only limits, like high TL equipment.

I might use Magery as an attribute, actually, with a default of 10 and a damage chart like ST.
