>>There's something that still confuses me about this. With several hundred ranks in, say, Augmentation, shouldn't one be able to cast a simple spell of a different mana type even with little to no skill in Sorcery? Or does having low ranks in the mastery skill actually pull you down?

Sorcery (and PM, but this matters less practically) both boosts the contest and also applies a cap on max effective skill. The cap is pretty generous, which is why it hasn't come up when discussing PM, but it'll definitely show itself when dealing with a Sorcery / spell-skill gulf.
