Truth.
Go for the feel but dont get bogged down in details trying for exact conversions.
Odds are you can make a better system if you dont get caught in minutia.

Modifiers to the skill roll are the closest to the system, but concept of Reaching breaks this approach too.

There are parameters, though it could use some fleshing out.
I really dont see this as hard as many people make it out to be.

Yeah, but Realms match over to Spheres better than Colleges do.
