Even setting aside the point cost problem having all spells cost FP is a huge in game cost. It's effectively telling the mage that any and all spells are Extra Effort (or more!), which absolutely flies in the face of casual spells/cantrips and in between the extremes.

Slight aside, I think Immunity to Magic is strictly better. For those same 30pts you decide whether or not you succeed resistance. (Note that it's not Static which does have downsides)
