I see nothing wrong with that. A general rule that 1MP=1d6 unless...
with exceptions for gods like Humakt. The trouble is I'm not sure how
well things will fit into this framework. We'd either have to redo lots
of magic, but we probably will redo sorcery at anyrate, or throw in lots
of rules to cover wierd examples of magic used before.
