RPM caps skill at 12 plus Magery and does not add Magery to IQ to determine skill, but it gives an energy reserve equal to 3×Magery and allows practitioners to have conditional rituals up to Magery plus Thaumotology. Similar drawbacks and benefits could apply to any magical system.

For example, we could translate the conditional rituals to spell maintenance in the default system. Mages could 'store' up to (Magery plus Thaumotology) spells for future use, triggered by a specific condition. For example, they could cast Teleport as a conditional ritual and have it activate if they ever suffer enough damage to go unconscious.
