Sounds like your planning on expanding metamagic quite a bit in the

"the standard", and define concrete rules for it. (The SR comp helped
as I recall). This would also give players a reason to seek
out particular groups if they wanted to learn a technique.

Time is the best teacher. Unfortunately it kills all of its students.
