Hikaru:
I'd recommend taking a look around the web as well. Some of these rules have
already been trickling out as open content. The two that come to mind are
the Vitality/Wound Point system and the Force system.
Look for the VP/WP at:

Craft of the Mind is at:
http://home.nycap.rr.com/steelstone/CraftoftheMind.pdf
Both of which are completely open content.
