In regard to this;
I feel it is important to distinguish that, in our current system, there are signature abilities that don't necessarily require intense amounts of development or impact on gamestate to acquire. Spectral Sight, Custom Summons being two that I myself acquired (along with my beloved Spirit Brother, Tyr <3) fairly easily in comparison to something like Death Magic.
A possible improvement in this regard would to have more 'low-grade' signatures explicitly distinct from powerful auras like Nullification or togglebuffs like Titan of Light; little fluff-heavy rewards like Artisan or Spectral Sight for the dedicated RPers who might not be at the pinnacle of their power, but have shown to have potential within their personal arcs to expand beyond them. A calling card to show "This is someone interesting, maybe not exceptional-but interesting." I've noticed that people with signatures tend to get more opportunity to do big things- the fluff on some of them being just as powerful as the actual effects!
