Well, let's see. First of all, assuming the adept both has a group
to work with and undergoes an ordeal each time, an initiation won't cost
him more than 20 Karma points until Grade 11 or something ridiculous like
that. (Assuming, of course, I am remembering the MItS table correctly.)

Secondly, adepts only have 3 metamagical abilities they can get, so
initiation beyond Grade 3 for them loses some of the point, anyway.

And thirdly, if you don't like that rule, change it. :) Force adepts to
initiate every time they want a point. :)
