So, levels aren't really an issue.
A big issue with D20 spells are that the higher level ones are incredibly powerful. They can seriously unbalance a game. But that is a problem for the GM.
Another issue is that D20 magicians can only store a certain number of spells and can only cast a certain number of spells per day, and both limitations are defined by level. That is against many of the BRP values. Is there a way around it? Almost certainly. Do I know the way? Nope.

The method I devised and posted up-thread is in fact designed to deal with some of these problems. All the methods I've posted are intended to be used in a automatic conversion routine that converts d20 spell data into BRP (or d100 if you want) spell data. One problem one cannot handle programmatically is very powerful spells. The only thing one can do is to mark them as problematic and alert a GM about the potential problem.

Well, I wouldn't be using MRQ if I made a conversion. There's absolutely no problem converting d20 spells to BRP, legal wise. The game system in it self is not owned by anyone. The terms being used in any given game system (hp, AC, magic points, fatigue points, SR etc.) are for all purposes public domain.
