I rather thought it worked out quite well.

Two types of magic called ritual magic. The one that's based on Basic's spells altered to use colleges as skills. And one that is now called book/path magic.

And I think the newer style based on MH series might be called that too at time.

There is Ritual Magic using the basic spell magic system. There is Path/Book magic and then their is Ritual Path Magic, this is from Monster Hunters. That's where my title is from. Draw your own conclusions.

Path/Book magic used to be called Ritual Magic once upon a time. I still think of it as such, since it is more ritual based than standard magic.

To each his own.

I'm not arguing. I'm just remarking on how a confusion could occur from what may seem like distinct terminology. There are so many options in Gurps, it can get a bit confusing.

Magery and Magery is probably the richest source of confusion.

I wonder which is the time frame you have in mind, at least the century.

I have seen it and trust me, it will be worth the price of whatever issue it ends up in. I have seen multiple drafts of it, and how it went from an OK article to its final form.

Again, no idea if it'll even get in. I submitted something for this month
s issue that didn't make it in. No idea if it'll ever see print.

It's okay, but it could be better. I've added a few things since then and it still needs some jiggerypokery, but might end up okay.
