I understand. The most important thing is to not worry too much about it -- for any given spell, there may be multiple "spell effects" which can cause it, so if something seems at all plausible, go for it.

For example: how would you make an invisibility ritual?

Greater Destroy Energy with Altered Traits (Invisibility).

a permanent effect?

Ritual path magic doesn't do permanent effects. (At least, not via the standard system. The GM is free to invent special "permanent spells" to be used as plot devices.) For extremely long-term effects, choose however many years you want the effect to last and pay energy as shown under the * footnote on the Ritual Effect Table.

What about if the setting has more blatant magic as the norm?

That just means people can feel comfortable to use Greater effects. It definitely shouldn't change the energy costs, since those are in place for balance reasons, not just to discourage flashiness.
