Right, so I'm now getting back to putting these systems down on paper... or the electronic version thereof.
I think I'm supposed to have some notes....
There they are:
Code:
Mazdayasni ahmi I am a worshipper of God
Mazdayasni Zarathushtrish A Zarathushtrian in worship of God
Fravarane astuataascha fravarotascha These pledges and intents I do declare:
Astuye humtem mano I pledge my thoughts to good thoughts
Astuye hukhtem vacho I pledge my speech to good words
Astuye hvarashtem shyaothanem I pledge my actions to good deeds
Astuye daenam vanghuhim Mazdayasnim I pledge myself to the highest discerning belief in worship of God

Somewhere, I found a list of what believers in Zoroastrian magic believe that rituals can be good for. Here it is:
Purifying corpses.
Fire (Holy Fire).
Banish.
Bind spirits.
Bind people.
Getting a job.
Helping in job.
Helping in school.
Financial assistance.
Healing sickness.
Healing wounds.
Protecting against the Evil Eye.
Blessed Water.
Scrying in Fire.
Divination, finding out who committed a theft or murder.
Now, I'm reopening old notes, so I don't really know if I had finalised that these were all the Paths which were possible and that rituals for all of the above would each fit under one or more of them.
Do any forumites have thoughts?
