Ritual Path Magic: Some Path of Mind spells

The other kinda monk.
Continuing on the theme of Ritual Path Magic and monks, my player also has Path of Mind. So, I decided to try to think of one thematically appropriate spell for each of the verbs. Let's see what we can do when we flex that gray matter. Bonus, also includes Incantation Magic versions of most. One spell is incompatible with incantation magic.
