Power fueled by rare energy

I am trying figure out how to price an ability fueled by an energy reserve. Powers lists only being able to power an ability from ER as a -5% limitation. In the setting the magical energies they would be using to power these abilities are very rare. The only way to refill the reserve involves spending the night in one of a very small number of places of power and making a successful roll against the Religious Ritual skill. The locations should be rare enough to be worth fighting over. I think that should qualify for the Special Recharge limitation, which is -70%. But that applies only to the cost of the ER itself. -5% seems like a very small amount for something that will substantially limit the characters use of certain abilities. Any suggestions on how I should work out a fair price?
