Different Cosmics

Detect Gold (Cosmic: No Roll required +100%) + Cosmic Talent 1

To me, all I want out of the first one is knowledge that I don't have to roll to use the ability, and that I know my exact distance with it. But, somehow, adding Cosmic Talent now makes the ability also ignore mundane countermeasures and work wherever I go?

If it's part of a Cosmic Power, you should distinguish it.

Detect Gold (Cosmic PM, +50%; Cosmic: No Roll required +50%)

Powers with a Cosmic PM pay 15 points per level for Talent, which does help level the advantage a touch. But you're right, the Cosmic PM has a great feature! I know I talked about it in a thread once when I said "I found the free lunch!" regarding Cosmic as a PM.
