I have no desire to increase the cost of this skill beyond 6 AP. I doubt I'll ever use his red or blue skills, but leveling him up is very worthwhile because his damage output and HP get insane.

And IM has his recharge skill, which already at lvl 2 gives you 9 blue AP. Sou we could say that it's effective cost is already 11. So with IM 40 you have to collect exactly the same amount of blue AP as with Classic Storm's attack. It may take a little longer with yellow AP but to me IM 40's blue skill is balanced. Changing cost of IM's skill would be like changing cost of Classic Storm's blue skill from 11 to like 7 or 8.
