Magery as an improvable advantage?

Although grounds for spending points to improve levels in an existing advantage might just be 'use the advantage', one other possible approach if that's considered "too accessible" might be to allow temporary access to a higher level via Extra Effort rules, and only that temporary access is grounds for buying it.

Similar rules might be used to buy enhancements: to do that perhaps you ought to have tried out that enhancement in a risky way using Temporary Enhancements first?

I also like that idea for buying new advantages under a power you have: maybe first "Using Abilities at Default" to get temporary access to an advantage based on something you already have, prior to buying it outright?
