Interrupted rituals in my campaign lead to all the energy being released somehow and if anyone were to try a 500+ ritual designed to harm anyone, I'm guessing that this would show up in a lot of prophecies beforehand.

You did not specify such a setting in the initial post. At -8 to -10 to skill, no magic will exist, as no one will be able to survive long enough to create magic. In RPM, a character would need Magery 8 to reach skill 20, which is 10 to 12 after the penalty. Assuming IQ 12, that would be 245 CP to be a bad mage in RPM.
