Certainly it's especially hard if you want to connect to a new rune. But creating the new spells for that rune in the first place is likely at least half the battle. But, yes, that would require exceptional skill; I'm just not convinced that we need a whole new level of devotion in rules terms to describe it.

But it's many years yet before the HQ2 version of the Western rules will be published, so opinions may have changed by then.
