Some of the things I've been using:- manifesting psionic powers costs additional pp (without any additional benefit)- the DC to save against arcane magic is lowered- the caster level of divine magic is reduced- concentration checks related to spellcasting are penalized- spellcasting as a whole is impeded (see planar magic)Worse things might happen:- casting time goes up (e.g. swift -> standard; standard -> full-round)- caster must beat 'the world's SR' for spells to have any effect- basically invert any kind of metamagic/-psionic feat, so that taking a feat is required to get the normal effectI'd be careful about the latter ideas, though, since it potentially hoses spellcasting pcs.</blockquote>
