Important principle: If you can build an ability with the existing traits, as with the Suggestion ability in the OP ("mechanically rather like the Telepathic ability of the same name"), build it that way. "Buy the effects, not the name". Note that Prince Charon does exactly that in his examples in the OP.

Sure, but I'd argue the power is an effect, mostly because you buy talents by power, not by source. If I can swallow the abilities I want into PA, then I'm better off doing that as it makes it cheaper to buy up higher levels of skill.
