Thinking about how I'd use this as a player, as a Fatigue caster, I'd have a reasonably big shot (5 points) available every few days as an extra. But as a Threshold caster, I'd have the ability to use a medium shot (2 points) that was only available in a very serious emergency, or when I'm in a safe place, because I'm going to be exhausted afterwards. I'm not sure how balanced these are against each other, and that will depend on the conventions of your game.
