A different flavor of Ritual Path Magic

1. Reorganize the Paths so that they better fit a TL 2 worldview. This means taking a lot of inspiration from Incantation Magic, but keep the Lesser/Greater distinction.

2. Change it to Effect Shaping - again, taking a cue from Incantation Magic.

3. Greater Effects do not increase the cost of the spell - but they do give Distortion Points (p. T193-194). This includes all flashy things like fireballs, etc. but not things like summoning demons. Basically, something like the Path of Elements would be difficult to use, but something like the Path of Mind might be easier to work.

4. I really want a Path of Illusion but I can't make it work well. Has someone made something similar or are Illusions just too limited to work as a Path?

Do you think this would work or would it collapse under its own weight?
