Frankly, there's no explicit rule that you need to have any Path skills to create scripts. I suppose you could strip down the lens to the bare minima and refocus on Symbol Drawing. This lens does just that, spending the "leftover" 3 points on the two relevant bits of training:

Incantation Scribe Lens (+50 points)

Advantages: Unusual Background (Incantation Mage) [15].

Skills: Alchemy (Infusions) (VH) IQ-3 [1]; Professional Skill (Dungeon Butcher) (A) IQ-1 [1]; Ritual Magic (Incantation) (VH) IQ-3 [1]; Symbol Drawing (Scripts) (H) IQ+7 [32].

There. Way too limited for a delver, but fun for NPCs. :)

Hoss, you could probably apply the "Charms or Elixirs Only" (-20%) limitation from Pyramid #66 to that UB to drop it down 3 points.
