I wrote up self-only afflictions as -50%. Honestly, it might be -80% because you can only use that attack one one person: yourself. And a single target is canonically worth -80% per Power-Ups 8: Limitations (p. 5). And if you go that route it's really just easier to outright buy the trait to begin with and slap the Sorcery modifier on it.

I'd probably call Conjure anything an appropriately modified innate attack, it's not a buff.
