I concur...but as GM I didn't bother to come up with a better way of 
doing it and as a player I like to take advantage of how it is. 
Basically I suspect that a proper way of figuring out how the NMIs 
should be affected by Enhancement will require a lot of individual 
attention to each different NMI. But I would suggest that at most MEL + 
(2xEL) = 30 should be enough to  get the full enhancement listed in the 
book. Lower levels of MEL+(ELx2) Enhancement should give lesser amounts 
of abilities and attributes. But some things, like for example Basil 
which is BL1 at unenhanced might be fully enhanced to BL10 by 
MEL+(ELx2)=9. I would put the rarer and more exotic items and those with 
more attributes as needing higher total skill to be fully enhanced than 
simpler and more common items such as Bindweed, Cayenne or Darbha Grass.

The more powerful items or attributes would require high MEL to be able to bring them forth.  The EL can be used to vary the 'plusses'.  For instance, enhanced agate could increase Eloquence by 5+EL...starting at MEL3.  It could add EL/2 to MDV vs storm powers at MEL 5.  At MEL 10 the item could provide EL immunity to emotional spells...etc.
