At the second level, rituals vary a bit between traditions, though they're all present. What this means is that mages of different traditions still can't cooperate, but a given ritual could also vary a bit - maybe the Chaperone ritual defaults to the Path of Luck at only -2 (instead of -3) for someone from the Wiccan tradition, while a Chaos Mage can use the Repair ritual from the Path of Gadgets to provide a bit of fuel in addition to its normal effects.
Finally, the third level changes the rituals for a given path entirely - a mage from the Hermetic tradition can use Summon and Bind rituals to call and command specifically elementals as part of the Path of Elements while nobody else can.

I am speaking of RPM not Path/Book, but thanks.
