Sorcery Techniques for Hard Core Improvization

[Silverblade]

Extra Will is [5]. Extra Will (-xx%, Limitation: only for Hardcore Improvisation) would make it even cheaper (not sure by how much), plus you wouldn't have the bookkeeping on various techniques.

I think Sorcery techniques would make it more complicated, and even more expensive in the long run....

As I understand it, the OP is planning to have the points in the technique go towards the spell in question when it's learned, so this won't increase the cost. It's just giving some bonuses for having a spell partly paid for. As this means the points have been committed (rather than being in the not-spent pool, and thus available for anything that might come up), I don't think it'll be very unbalancing.

Well, in my view, it's the risk and effort that make that kind of thing (somewhat) balanced in the first place. It's already advantageous toward characters with broad power concepts. Captain Fireball might be able to "default" fire powers, but a sorcerer can do a lot of things. As I said before, this imbalance is mainly mitigated by sorcerers already paying for a lot of flexibility.
