One thing I like about it, is that it shows how very difficult it is to gather larger amounts of energy, without especially high skill. Trying to gather 100 energy with an effective skill of 16, for example, results nearly always in a critical failure before you finish. Skill 17 sometimes works, but the quirk-level tends to be high. 0-quirk rituals at that energy level don't tend to happen below skill 19, so far.

It shows that RPM is less unbalanced than I thought it was.

EDIT: So far, 500 energy seems to be impossible, even at skill 25. It can be done at effective skill 30, though.
