Default Has anyone run Monster Hunters/Voodoo campaign

My latest of my umpteen projects is a Monster Hunter/Voodoo campaign. I'll probably have to let RPM go, and replace it with the Path magic detailed in Voodoo (it's for 3rd ed, but I'm fairly certain it was updated for Thaumatology so adapting it for 4th ed shouldn't be too difficult). The Shadow War needs champions, after all.

The magical system from Voodoo was updated for Path/Book Magic in Thaumatology, not Ritual Path Magic. Ritual Path Magic is more like the magic seen in the Buffyverse, relatively slow but incredibly powerful. Unless you want a superpowered setting like the Buffyverse (which is pretty much the primary inspiration for Monster Hunters), Path/Book Magic is more appropriate for the subtle setting of Voodoo.

Path magic was the system I used in my 3e Weird WWII campaign. I was so impressed by it I really stopped having an interest in using dpell magic for anything.

And I have a skill list!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/kdav1zx0n5...0List.pdf?dl=0

It's basically the one in MH, with a few changes. First of all, I have introduced two new attributes (because why not?) - Psyche (magical power) and Charisma. Also consolidated a few combat skills - Broadsword and Shortsword, the various fencing skills, and replaced Thaumatology with Ritual Magic. Does anything look egregiously wrong?
