Default Skill and Techniques for a magic system

I'd like to create a magic system that relies on a single skill called "Sorcery" and have the spells treated as Techniques of this skill at either Hard or Very Hard as they would normally be.

I already found a file that removes the prerequisites for the spells (and leaves Magery), which I'd like to use as a base.

I just have no idea how to start.

Default Re: Skill and Techniques for a magic system

What you are describing is basically Ritual Magic from the Basic Set p. 242. There is already a Data File for Ritual Magic which allows you to choose from a range of core skills.

The other option, if you don't lime the Core+Path setup for some reason, is to modify every spell using the following code as an example:

#ReplaceTags in SP:Fireball with "type(Tech/H), default(SK:Sorcery - 6), needs(SK:Sorcery), upto(prereq)"
