One of the drawbacks would be here. I'm assuming you mean a maximum of
1.5x the linked attribute. If you do that, racial maximums are really
going to get in the way. For example a Troll could never become as
good at firearms as a Human, and a Human could never get a higher
Negotiation than an Elf. See what I'm pointing out?

We already have a house rule that a character can't start with a spell
force higher than Magical Theory, don't know if I'd want to limit it
once game play started. Magical Theory already factor into how many
dice they roll to learn the spell.

There's two comments I had right off...
