You can look in the infernal book, under the section on Cathonic magic which describes something similar to your question...The simple answer is triple your lowest art. (Assuming you have a major focus, a minor focus would double the lowest and then add the score a third time but limited by your higher art)

He's not particularly being a power gamer, and I'm sure he'll get smacked enough in game for being Diedne, which carries it's own just reward more often than not.
