Mage the Ascension/Awakening magic system in TORG terms.
Magic is a strange non-inherited inheritance.
While that sounds confusing, it works in much the same way as Transcendence and becoming Possibility Rated.
The Cosm in question might be Magic 10 for the vast majority -- and even then, most never see magic or know it is real.
But for a certain few, Magic is more.
They must be Poss Rated for one.
Even once they have it, it is still a 4 case contradiction even in the very Cosm it is native to -- thus emulating "Paradox".
And then they can access Magic Axiom 20 -- essentially the "Spheres"/"Arcana" operate as "Wish Parsers".
Even so, Ords can deny them Roll Again/Up results when they are using their "Super Spells" just by having the Ord witness the Spell being cast or seeing the results of that Spell.
This may be complex, but it is the first step to designing a "White Wolf" Cosm.
Maybe it can be tidied up a bit but overall it works as intended and I am hesitant to undo the system.
It would be a World Law.
Call it, "The Law of Paradigm" or "The Law of Supernal Truth" -- either way, the conversion to TORG produces the same result from either the old or new version.
