[RPM] Power Talents Adding to Paths?

I'm concerned that if not, there is little incentive to take a Power Talent, especially as most of his Magic-as-Abilities are things that don't take a standard success roll, such as an ability to perceive and converse with spirits, spirit allies, etc.

On the other hand, I don't want to alter any fundamental balancing poles of the Ritual Path Magic system, so before I make a judgment on this, I'd at least like to understand what is meant to be the rule and why.

I don't see an issue. If there is a problem increase the cost of the Power Talent by one per Path skill affected and be done with it.
