Cosmic: Always rolls a 10 (+xx%)

Note that pricing it at +100% like No Die Roll Required would theoretically allow you to purchase Reliable +20 for the same price, which would amount to an awful lot of extra margin of success (EDIT: Of course, I would never in a million years permit a straight Reliable +20 on a resisted ability, but it's still a point of comparison). All in all, I wouldn't price this too highly unless there's a big loophole I'm not seeing- the more so as it would slightly speed up play, which is something to be encouraged where practical.

using a different attribute is +20%, which might suggest a generic cost for a theoretically equivalent contest which is still probably skewed in the different stats favor.
