Sure sounds fine to me. Especially if people are using it for RuneQuest
games :-)

Another rule from WoW's Magic World, treating power like a battery. In
those rules however the recovery rate was 1 point per half hour of
complete rest and 1 point per 2 hours of activity.

I find that the difference is so minimal it's not even worth mentioning
(unlike the MRQ magic point recovery). For POW 1-24 the recovery is 1
point per hour sleeping (say, 8 points per day) and 1 point for every 2
hours whilst awake (say 8 points per day) - so 16 points recovery per
day.

Indeed if your character had a POW above 16 they actually now have
*less* magic points per day! Unless they sleep more of course.

Hmmm... sleepy wizards..
