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?

Uh...what? No, that's not how it works because you haven't given either of those advantages a power source. They are in fact the same advantage. Plus a Talent that has no bearing on it. Neither one is vulnerable to mundane countermeasures because you didn't give either a source like "Mutant". or "ESP"
