I hear you, the main problem is integration, as you state. What one could consider is coming up with a rough table which gives a certain type of magic use a Dificulty Rating (DR) and/or weight. It would be more a guideline and up to the GM to adjust as the situation calls. Example: Producing a small flame, Cost 1MP, DR 1. Summoning major daemon, Cost ?MP, DR 9 etc etc.
Pete Maranci has another magic system using runic magic. http://www.maranci.net/runic.htm I have never used it but it ma add some flavour. One could also consider the five schools of magic outlined by Lyndon Hardy in his books (Master of the five magics etc). They are (from memory):
Thaumatergy - Like attracts like, kinda like a hydraulic effect.
Alchemy - Self explanitory.
Sorcery - The power of the mind.
Magic - Using ritual etc to create artifacts
Wizardry - Enslaving daemons to do your graft.
I would be interested in seeing your suggestions integrated into RQ.
