[RPM] [Advice] Egyptian Magic - Lesser/Greater Split
I need some advice, I'm a little stumped.
I've been working on an Egyptian magic variation of Ritual Path Magic, but I'm having trouble deciding what the Lesser/Greater split should be. (If you're curious, the Paths I chose are: the Sky (gasses/air, thought), the River (spirits, water/liquids), the Earth (solid matter, life), the Sun (fire/energy, passions/emotions), Duat (death, travel, dimensions), Sekhem (magic itself), and Ma'at (order, truth, divination, harmony, reality). There's also the opposing Path of Isfet, which is (lies, chaos, confusion, disorder, unreality)) I figured that Transforming things should be like-to-like - ie, if something's of a similar size/shape then it's easy to transform one to the other - but I'm not wedded to it. Theme I'm going for is moderate to high fantasy. But yeah, having trouble figuring out what the split should be between Lesser/Greater. If you could provide some ideas on good alternative splits, that would definitely help me out.

Maybe take a page out of Incanters and just do away with greater and lesser splits entirely. If you are going for high fantasy then why have lesser magic? Just let Egyptian magicians do their thing.

Are you going to deal with how they divide the soul into the Ba, Ka and Akh?

GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 19: Incantation Magic. It's a simplified variant of RPM.
