Proper application of cosmic modifiers

[nijineko]

When selecting the cosmic modifier for a single non-attack non-defense ability, does a single application of cosmic pay for all of multiple bypassed restrictions, or does each restriction thus bypassed count as a separate application towards which cosmic must be purchased?

The latter. I've seen cosmic modifiers add up to 300%

Power-Ups Enhancements goes into a lot of detail on Cosmic, including several additional examples.

Usually the latter, sometimes the former. Look at adding Cosmic to an Active Defense. In that case it bypasses three or four things with a mere +50%. In the end, I'd probably just state the former for all house-ruled things since it's on the safe side.
