Actually I'm not MC23. I'm also a strong believer that magic has limits.
BUT I do believe that there would be a cross-pollination of ideas between
magical research and other disciplines. Might not ever amount to anything,
but it could create different spells/rituals/foci than what were thought
possible.
It's too early for the fruits of this labor to be ripe though, not enough
time and research has elapsed to this point. A science only four decades
or so old is far too young to be making huge leaps, even with outside ideas.

Hear hear. Why? Because sometimes a GM should be able to do something in
the interest of story and/or fun. Players shouldn't ever have that option
I don't believe.
I'm not sure how home-spun traditions should break the rules. They seem to
me to be usually less efficient when done right. But, *sigh*, I will agree
that it is an area left far too open for munchy types to create their own
mega-traditions...
