Sanctaphrax:
Seems weak. The extra benefit is strong, but the drawback is painful and it has no evothaum. Plus it costs extra.
Make it better or cheaper, I say.

Now that you mention it, it does suck compared to Soulfire. Hmm. Usually my custom powers are called out as overpowered.

[-5] Hunger Magic(Sponsored Magic)
This is the power that a White Court Vampire's Hunger allows him to access. It will subsume what talent the vampire might have had entirely into it's own essence.
Themes: Minds, Emotions, Life, Control. Hunger Magic deals with all these, and related spheres of influence, as befits its nature. In addition, when casting rituals related to these themes, you may cast them with the speed and method of evocation.
The Hunger Feeds On All: Reduce any Toughness power a target has by one step.
Power From A Demonic Pact: When casting a spell that is not a rote, the vampire takes a -1 penalty to control, power, and complexity, due to using his power in ways not previously agreed upon with his Hunger. In addition, the GM may use this as justification for a compel to prevent the caster from doing something that the Hunger might take issue with.
Fuelled By Hunger: This Power is ultimately powered by the Hunger within a vampire. In times of need, it can be persuaded to even further exert itself, though it will require a correspondingly greater amount of "food" afterwards. When invoking an Aspect for the purpose of spellcasting, you may take a two-point stress hit to your hunger stress track instead of spending a fate point.
Turns out, there's already a Power called Hunger Magic on the customer powers list. Seems a bit overpowered though, so I tuned it down.
See below.
Sanctaphrax:
Two clarifications: does The Hunger Feeds On All reduce Recovery? And can you take multiple stress hits to boost a single spell repeatedly?
Assuming you use the interpretation of Feeding Dependency where you don't lose Powers every time you take stress, and that it reduces Recovery but only allows one boost per spell, that's probably decently balanced. Feels kinda bad to pay extra and get a significant drawback, but it's got two extra benefits and one of them is pretty big.
Locnil:
No (it works exactly like Soulfire in this regard), and no (That was the part I toned down; the original Hunger Magic did allow you to.) Maybe I should work on it a little more.
