In Powers, they did mention a -10% for material components but that's for your run of the mill components.

One example of a spell would be a raise dead spell where you need to make a significant offering to your god... (sort of like how in D&D 3rd it costs 5000$ for a raise dead).

Thanks!

You could kludge something together from Trading Points For Money (p. B26). Each character point spent gives you 10% of Average Campaign Starting Wealth, if you reverse "Costs Character Points" and use the 5x multiplier that means such a advantage might give you 10% of Starting Wealth for 5 points. So maybe -5% per 10% of Starting Wealth (or -1% per 2%).
