Ok then.
So your idea is to adjust the base cost according to what it can do and apply an enhancement on that to lower resistance?
By adjusting the base cost instead of stacking enhancements lowering resistance for a stun is cheaper than retching or a heart attack. Also range or other modifiers are likewise more expensive.
I can see some good things about that approach, though it could get prohibitively expensive for say a Malediction or area attack.
