Oh it will work, its just some things would be spoilers and they arent really about RPM anyhow so I wanted to be sure before going there as others have hinted at.

Please again, spoil away! I have been researching this for months and that included a lot of Dresden stuff. So shoot...

Ok, so Harry and the Whit Circle could be built with RPM which since its a MH setting and that is where we first saw RPM works well.
SoulFire is an ability he used for awhile that I would build as a power that costs CP.
Ritual Adept I would allow for the setting.
Energy Gathering rolls would have additional modifiers and rules to allow for gathering from emotions, storms and other things.
His magic gear I would probably build as powers.
The Winters Mantle is set of additional powers, including extra energy. Also comes with some disadvantages.

Coming up with new rituals n the fly is hard, most rituals take time to research so I would tweak that. Also look at the RPM articles in Pyramid #3/66 The Laws of Magic.
Fae magic I would not use RPM for, in fact in my setting I went in a powers based direction that was inspired by the Glamour limitation in Powers and ideas from Powers The Wierd. Note that I was not trying for an exact match but Dresden Files was among my inspirations.

Angels and Denarians I would not even write up.

Got it! So you would go with energy gathering instead of the affect shaping variant ?

Yeah, he clearly runs low on energy and talks about gathering it from various sources. We dont see many high powered spells where a lot of energy was gathered, mostly its personal but the Red Court vampires do go for one really big spell. Another is the attempt to become a god by using the Wild Hunt as an energy source.
Also the circles he draws to help hold in the energy are another inference towards Energy Accumulation over Effect Shaping.
