Default Non-Mage Threshold / Tally Recovery / Calamity Proneness /

T80 under Ceremonial Castings mentions "Assess additions to each participant’s tally exactly as you would reckon energy contributed in the standard system."

We know from the three limitations on T78 that mages might have reduced threshold (perhaps none at all), be prone to calamities and recover tally slowly (or none at all, barring 'calamities reduce tally)

Without having a magery stat to limit you can't get these limitations though, so it actually seems like ALL non-mages might end up better off in terms of powering spells than certain limited mages?

Would it be reasonable maybe to convert one or more into disadvantages based on the cost of magery 0? I guess it's a point crock if you don't need it to cast spells, but a reduced ability to safely power spells is SOME kind of drawback.

"Lend Spell" or non-mages casting spells in High Mana also seems like issues where you'd want these options for non-mages to have varied capacities.
