RPM is Ritual Path Magic, a magic system created for the GURPS Monster Hunters genre book, intended to fit the kind of magic you get in high-powered supernatural/horror shows like Buffy or Supernatural.

Essentially a worked example of a bunch of other systems from GURPS Thaumatology, its designed as a scalable and flexible magic system. Magic comes in a variety of Path skills, which determines what you are affecting or what effect you hope to generate with the spell. Modifiers such as increased damage, altered traits, or imposing bonuses/penalties add to the energy cost. Instead of using Fatigue, Energy for the spells is usually gathered using ritualistic steps of varying length - 5 minutes per step for normal people, and 5 seconds for people with the Ritual Path Adept advantage. Any spell can be attempted, but rolling too much to gather energy without having sufficient skill will eventually result in a Critical Failure and your spell going haywire. Because its so freeform, its generally a good idea for players to prepare Rote spells.

RPM turned out to be so popular, that its getting its own splatbook: GURPS Thaumatology: Ritual Path Magic. Its intended to greatly expand the system and provide a bunch of extra rules for things like enchanting.

Its due out soon-ish, but has been a long time coming, especially with SJGames putting their GURPS line on the sidelines for OGRE recently. >> OPFag Thu Sep 26 07: >What about Magic as Powers? Tons of people have tried it, to varying degrees of success. While ostensibly more balanced with characters using the Powers system for other things (Supers, Psionics, etc.), it tends to increase the cost for specific abilities and makes it harder to be a Generalist, or at least one who can maintain and perform more than one trick at a time. You can have trouble fitting certain kinds of magic due to the way powers price things, like academic spells-as-skills magic. Here's a wiki with a particularly good example someone has come up with: An official example exists as the Divine Favor system, released in a supplement. Basically using the Patron advantage along with the option from Powers to default related abilities from a Power through a core advantage, it allows you to have clerics or divine casters who can pray for general miracles, specific ones, or eventually learn how to perform certain miracles themselves without having to pray for assistance.
