The path boost items could be designed so that they can't be used to "create" a new path, only to boost exsisting paths.
That rule applies for the existing items too, and I think it a commen sense for further discussion. But adding more boost items is still too much for the balance.

Recentlly it is not too difficult to get mages with one new path (by indy/summons), but as any race goes on expanding his path, he will eventually meet his limit since the path boosters are very limited in choice. And if you enlarge that opportunity by adding new boost items, the whole magic system will be affected.

Another example: the S9 Wish can normally only be casted by S6 mage + starshine skullcap + 2 rings(or 1 ring + lucky coin). If we have an extra new S booster, this extreme limit will be much lower, and we can even image some S5 national mages cast Wish in group. That could be fun, but I will feel it a too big change.
