[Thaumatology] Threshold and Fatigue Magic

On a slightly related note to the thread Hellboy started I'm planning on giving my players access to both Threshold Magery and Fatigue Magery if they decide they want to be casters. I'm doing planning on doing it a bit more complexly than just opening both styles up though. Basically you can only get one or the other but buying into one gives you access to a much reduced version of the other.

So if you buy Threshold magic you get the default 30 tally and 8 recovery, but you also get the ability to cast magic with your Fatigue at a 5:1 ratio. If you get Fatigue magic you casts spells like normal in the default system but you also get access to a tally of 5 with a recovery of 1.

Does this sound feasible? It's the first time I'm going to have run a game with more than just the default Fatigue magic in it so I'm hoping that this'll end up with two types of mage that are recognizably different but without either being obviously more powerful than the other.
