[Path/Book Magic] An Emerald Primer

[Astromancer]

I'd like the hivemind's input on an idea. I'm thinking of setting up a fantasy game useing Path/Book Magic as the primary magic and Psi Powers as the advanced magic. But what this thread is about is Magic 101.

The question is, what would go into the basic magic text? With a nod to Hermes Trimegistus, I've chosen to call the basic book, The Emerald Primer. So what would be the basic magic? Going by folklore, myth, and literary tradition, what should magic 101 consist of?

Note: this book is a primer. So the spells should be basic, commonplace, and be both useful to beginers and old pros alike.

Thank-you for your time and attention.
