There's a big problem with that. It is possible to use Enchanting to
reduce the bonding cost of a focus. It is also possible to REALLY
reduce the bonding cost if you make the focus yourself. For your
suggestion, you'd have to use the bonding cost straight from the table.

But if you do it that way (base it on table cost), it actually makes a
lot of sense. It means there's a reason to get Spell Category foci,
and even Specific Spell foci. But I'd put it at MR*3, and even that
is rather unbalancing if you only get Sustaining Foci and Specific
Spell Foci.
