There are a few major differences between the MtA and RPM. First, you do not suffer a penalty for multiple continuous effects in RPM. Second, it is much easier to create conditional rituals than in MtA.

If you want to, you can replace the existing RPM Paths with MtA Spheres (there are nine of each, so it is easier than it looks). I would give the effects a base energy cost of (MtA Sphere level + 2). If you are mimicking a rote, I would add the base cost of the Spheres required, though effective skill with them would be based on the primary Sphere. You could replace Arete with Ritual Magic (Tradition) (since it is limited by Magery, the skill actually does represent enlightenment). Lesser effects would be coincidental while greater effects would be vulgar.
