How would you do this magic? Based on RPM/Realm/Syntactic - Page 3

OK, working on my magic system for the Kaya (elves) and I was going to use the RPM system. I use it in several places for this world but replace the path skills.
The 5 elements are no problem.
However to fit the background I want to add in the Muses as well.
Memory from Mneysomne is fine.
But Poetry? Dance? most of the muses realms would be more like a method of casting rather then a typical Path.
Now I do not mind, in fact it is desired to have some limited Paths.
So while a Path of Dance, Song or love poetry may not be high on an adventurers list it could be very nice at Court.
So should I make them Path skills and let people struggle to come up with good effects, use them to substitute for Thaumatology (kind of neat and could be the basis for Bards), make them action skills or modifiers that can reduce casting cost, or something else?
Or heck all the above :)
