[Thaumatology] Realms-based magic question

Hi all. Quick question

In Realms based magic, the energy cost is 2x the highest realm level, plus any other realm levels. Yet this means that the more "granular" your realms are (as in, the more levels you have), the higher the cost.
For example, if I play with a 3 realm limit, then most spells cast at level 3 will cost 6 energy. But if I play with a 5 realm limit (and assuming that the level 3 and 5 both indicate the same level of power), then things will cost 10 energy, despite the fact that the level 3 and level 5 realm give the same amount of power.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
