I actually am a bit confused about the difference between "Path" and "Book"
Which is why I went Path since I like the system and there were samples.
I'm using the Path/book system to simulate more mundane practitioners (mortal magic users) to allow there to be a difference between ordinary magic users and magic users like Loki or Dr. Strange (since I'm running a Marvel/DC mashup) who use Sphere magic which is far more dynamic.
