That sounds reasonable. Still, most Quickenings are either low Force
(if it goes away, I'll spend another 1 karma on it), or high Force (no
one is goign to frag with This).

It also sounds reasonable. It makes it cost more to be in multiple
groups, but not much more. It can get expensive at the higher grades,
but then again so can Initiation.
