If you haven't read the OSRS beta doc yet, you should go do that now.
If you have read it, here's where you can talk about things you liked, didn't like, think are missing, etc. Also, if you want to write new powers or add new racial templates or stuff like that, you can post those here as well. If we like your ideas, we may talk to you about putting them in the core rules.

Could you please post 3 example spells- one offensive, one defensive and one utility? Not having any makes it difficult to envision how magic works.
And will there be non-spell based magic abilities?

Here's one. Currently, the magic system has yet to be adapted to the final ruleset, so I don't want to post too much, but here' the basic idea. Should be fairly familiar to anyone who has played
FIRE BLADE
Prerequisite: Create fire, Shape fire
Cost: 1d6 mana (+ 1 per additional round)
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: Touch
Area: 1 Weapon
Duration: Maintained
Effect: Adds fire damage to attacks
Resist: None (may require melee touch attack if effect is undesired)
This spell causes the caster's weapon (or that of another) to spring into magical flames. These flames do not consume the weapon, but add 2d4 points of fire damage to anything it strikes. The weapon also may be used as a torch to set things ablaze.

Greg, will there be an update to the Oathbound setting using Osiris? It rather looks that way, and the system looks very interesting. It'll be a while before I get to try it, though, currently running a Way of the Wicked campaign. Looking forward to the magic rules as well. Good to see that Epidemic is still sticking around.

Ultimately, we would like to do that. At the moment, we don't have time to fit it in in the short view. Since we have to keep our days jobs for the moment, we are limited in what we can work on. This year looks to be set with the OSRS core book and then the magic system (which is a whole series of books we have been working on for almost a decade). Then we'll probably need to produce a monster manual and maybe some adventures to show off the new system. At that point we'd probably move to a campaign setting. It could be Oathbound (Anvil, maybe), or it could be a new one. That won't be decided for a while.
Of course, if someone else is willing to do the work of converting the existing Oathbound books, we'd be happy to publish them.
