Detect Gold (Cosmic: No Roll required +100%) + Cosmic Talent 1

To me, all I want out of the first one is knowledge that I don't have to roll to use the ability, and that I know my exact distance with it. But, somehow, adding Cosmic Talent now makes the ability also ignore mundane countermeasures and work wherever I go?

Uh...what? No, that's not how it works because you haven't given either of those advantages a power source. They are in fact the same advantage. Plus a Talent that has no bearing on it. Neither one is vulnerable to mundane countermeasures because you didn't give either a source like "Mutant". or "ESP"

Would Cosmic +50% do anything when added to an attribute?

Would an attribute with Cosmic +50% be immune to non-cosmic attack by things like Leech, spells, etc?

I think so, as well as Attribute penalty Afflictions and the like. You would have to buy the Cosmic on the Attribute from Zero however...

You'd also be immune to non-Cosmic buffs, right?

Should not, but the not-Cosmic buff will give not-Cosmic ST atop Cosmic ST, for instance.

good, point, it'd be cheaper to just become immune to attribute loss. Even if your putting a couple cosmics on THAT.
