Its similar in some ways to coincidental magic from Mage the Ascension.

I like the idea but reversing it, rewarding the player(s) with points for building up the world in a way that doesn't necessarily help them. I recently gave a player two points for explaining to the party what ruins they were exploring inside this huge canyon that they all loved.
