What are the Power Levels?

Out of curiosity, what is the assumed rate of Refresh increase? A point every 10 sessions? Every 20 sessions? Or is it more of a "when you feel like it" type thing?

We have an entire chapter that talks about this. It'll depend heavily on the GM's perspective on what constitutes a major milestone in the story of the game.  We view each Harry novel as *roughly* 1 refresh point, though I'm not 100% certain that scans 1 for 1.

Stunts cost Refresh. Logically, that would seem to imply that Stunts are not their own form of advancement, but a result of Refresh advancement.

Correct.

I didn't post a reply to your answer Fred, so here:
Thank-you very much for posting this.

Man, I thought my mom taught me better than this.

That makes sense.

I'm really glad that we're finally getting some well thought out advancement rules for FATE. It's been the only point of contention between my players and I. Most of them like seeing their character grow mechanically, and I have been lacking suitable, non hand wavy guidelines.

I'm really looking forward to this.

Wow... he's pretty high Refresh-cost even in the Storm Front stats we've seen. But then, he has improved his skills dramatically (especially in the more finesse-y stuff like Little Chicago), and things like Soulfire must be pretty expensive.
