I've got a new ability idea!
Not entirely sure how to explain it, so I'll just draw up a rough design for the ability tree itself and then talk about it at the end.
So the general idea, is to add in a somewhat realistic ability that costs a whole lot more due to being inherently more powerful, and more prone to catastrophe than some others. The great power is not without further cost, however, as if used improperly the ability can cause great harm to the user as well.

Force (Note: Each level of this ability requires 100 points to achieve save the first and last, which each cost 125.)
Level One - Encumbrance: The ability to inflict a subtly increased level of gravity on one specific area, at one specific time.
Level Two - Gravitate: The ability to manipulate the gravitational force in a bubble around one specific area, the magnitude decreasing greatly with each successive bubble at one time.
Level Three - Pressurize: The ability to inflict higher pressures, upon a relatively small bubble of space, at one time.
Level Four - Oppression: The ability to exert great control over the pressure and gravity of a bubble of space at one time, the magnitude decreasing exponentially with each successive bubble made.
