It can't be that usual since it's so hard to find... B61 didn't have it, nor P11, first I can find is page 8 of PU8 to introduce the "Alternative abilities don’t have to be limited to one ability at a time" option/rules.

P158 has "Multiple Feats" says All rolls for active uses of a power’s abilities are at -1 per active ability already “on.” and for some reason I initially thought you meant that...

Simultaneous Spells' derivation from PU8 is something I understand when I realize the base ability is Sorcerous Empowerment.

Can't say I understand the design of SE though, since by Alternative Abilities the benefit of being able to Will to resist countermeasures seems to exist when using the Alternative Abilities.

Perhaps that is somehow offset by the ability having no inherent value to begin with?
