Hey, all.

As I play around with Ritual Path Magic and Incantation Magic, I have been wondering how to further flesh out some powers that I want. Of course, Pyramid #3/66 has info on making powers alongside RPM, but I want a few more options for that, and I want to work them both ways.

If I make an RPM spell into a power, I don't have the option to penalize it for connection or space. What would the limitation on an advantage be that requires connection/sympathy or space/consecration?

Furthermore, I look at the Ritual Adept advantage and the pieces within it. It's 10 points to... what? Negate a certain amount of penalties? Ignore these unseen limitations? I know what Ritual Adept (Space) does, but how does that cost break down?

I'm just trying to look under the hood a bit. Thanks!
