Yeah a ludicrously complex computer with behavioral subroutines
that others of its kind call Will and Spirit. Even if we are measuring
psychological traits / features that run as patterns in the brain
that doesnt stop them from being real --- and the rules of magic itself
in real myth indicate that "power" over the inner self is one of keys to 
magic.
As below so above and vice versi and psyche is the key of magic.

Maybe I put too much connection between my fantasy magic and the
 magic as professed and presented in real myth and you can argue
that RQ Power is just magic points... not discepline and focus and other
real psychological features. But I dont think the result makes RuneQuest
richer or cooler but rather divorces from the very things people are 
vicariously
experiencing in fantasy gaming... the power of mythic context.
