[RPM] Misc Questions

How would you convert the metamagic feats from DND to RPM? Like for example, if you took Metamagic Mastery (Enhancement: Explosive) then you could add or subtract the Explosive Enhancement to or from any Spell you cast, while still having it qualify for the same Ritual Masteries and Grimoires it did before. So for example, if you had the afore mentioned metamagic mastery and found a grimiore with a spell called thorn bolt, that spit out a thorn that did piercing damage with a poisonous follow up, then you could go and cast an explosive version, that would send out lots of little thorns at the pont of impact, and poison anything that was damaged, while still gaining the bonus for the grimoire. If you also had Ritual Mastery for a fireball spell, you could cast it without the explosive component, in order to save energy, and still benefit from the Ritual Mastery.

I think these'd probably be magic perks, limiting you to one per 20 points in RPM skills, or per 10 points in a style.

Edit: Also, for Specific Ritual Definition, how specific should you be with enhancements to damage? It says you can vary the amount, but does that mean only damage? And how does that work for things like cyclic, which have multiple amounts to vary, E.G. both time and cycles?
