As you can tell im not a huge fan of using the refresh method to handle weather or not a character is playable anymore. Consider a focused practitioner with channeling -2 Fire, Hellfire -2, and lawbreaker first -2. is a perfectly playable character mathematically but is going to be much more of a gibbering mad man then a normal wizard who accidentally broke a law... once...

Point of order: Hellfire in the situation you just described would cost -4, not -2.

Hellfire would cost -4 not -2, channeling doesn't reduce sponsored magic costs... and even if it did that would be -3.

Edit: and Fred was faster on the draw.

Moriden:
lol fair enough but such a  character would still only be at -8 refresh, perfectly legal mathematically.

2 channeling, 4 hellfire, 2 lawbreaker =8
