Default [Tribe8/BRP] Eminences & Conjunctional Synthesis for BRP fantasy?

This is a cross post from RPG.net....

So I was sitting about my house last night looking through my Stormbringer books in anticipation of the DBRP book thats coming out in the next few months and I was also thinking about the "fantasy worlds without magic" thread (that was going on on rpg.net). When I got to thinking about Tribe 8s Eminences & Conjunctional Synthesis systems.

I started to think about a fantasy world where in there were no gods or basic magic as such but instead everything was based around the concept of personal spirits or Eminences, and that great feats of magic could only be performed by using rituals to amplify ones personal Eminences or those of the environment around you (I was thinking of River spirits and Mountain Spirits etc.)

I was thinking that perhaps at character generation each PC could choose 2 tribe 8 style Eminences which they could use to augment actions with the spending of MPs to the tune of +5% per MP spent.

Those who chose to study "spirit magic" as a separate field could do externally affecting magics by summoning the Eminences of their surrounding environs to achieve effects.

I'm not sure of the details yet, but I think such a system could be the basis of an interesting and different fantasy world.

How would anyone in the Tribe 8/BRP crossover fanbase do it? Comments? Ideas? Suggestions?
