This is what I have been doing. When one of my players fast talked his way out of a bad situation using only his roleplaying ability I still had him check the Fast Talk skill.

Sometimes, if the roleplaying is VERY impressive, I let them make an immediate check for skill increase.

I'm not keep on improvemnt as a reward. I could see improving a particular skill that was used well through. Like if a player managed to do an amazing job fast talking people I could see an improvement in that particular skill.

I practice the same. This is a good system to reward players.

During the playtest I created all the characters from the TV show "Heroes" using this method as they all only have one power for the most part.

THe only problem I can see id that some powers need to be bought by SIZ. For instance Speed and Flight in WoW were SIZ based. So a POW 11 SIZ 13 character would be out of luck.

Or is there a option to be able to buy at least one level of a power?

Its not one point for one point. I don't want to go into further detail due to the non-disclosure agreement. I'm sure Jason could though.

I don't remember what it was in WOW, but the cost to purchase Flight now is 1 per Level and each level will lift 3 SIZ. So to purchase the power for my adaption of Nathan Petrelli from "Heroes" only cost me 5 points. This left me plenty to boost his speed.
