Oh, ok. It's just going to have everything, isn't it?
Though basic magery adds to basic spells.

Well its going to be the first dedicated magic system out for quite some time.
We have had numerous magical supplements but not a new system in a long time.

I really like this system. It would be nice to have clarification on greater vs. lesser on things like healing, etc.

Me neither.

I'm also not at all happy that GURPS needs a hard disadvantage limit. In a more thoroughly designed system, there'd be no need for such a thing.

Yes, Magery is a Power Talent, and it seems rather absurd that there isn't an official RAW Power Talent for RPM.

Soon, though. I am not terribly disappointed with "not yet, but it is almost completely written."

It seems like an intentional point sink to keep 400 point witches from overpowering other hunters. Which is fine for that setting specifically. But it causes problems for variants, especially lower point characters.

The version in GURPS Monster Hunters is specifically tied to that series. The more general version in GURPS Ritual Path Magic will have such a Talent. What's the problem?

Wow wow

I hadn't really calculated the cost of being a RPM user until now. To have broad competency in RPM takes a LOT of points.

Adaptive and flexible (near-)godlike power is expensive, yes.
