If your system can't support Count Dracula, your system is shit
Sorry, I don't have time to make lots of great spells. I do have the time to bitch about whatever your ideas are, apparently, so I'll keep on that tip.
I'm not sure about spell points, but I like the idea of Ritual Mages acquiring 'capital' or saving up 'spell points' once they do rituals. One guy might sacrifice babies, one guy might bathe in blood, one guy might whip himself, one guy might eat some guys. Then, magic!
The coolest NPC and movie magic is ritual magic anyway. You know, the spell that for some reason, takes one hour to cast and the PCs arrive when there are 10 rounds left before the spell goes off and the gate opens. It's all about gates opening. Or becoming super human. Make sure you stress the waves of energy and spectral voices and monks chanting that's part/parcel of Ritual Magic.
Venger was a Ritual Mage. Count Dracula was a Ritual Mage. Greg Vrill's second boss form was a Ritual Mage. All the greatests. Make it shine.
