"Are the 100 new spells also unique from the level 4-5 spells in the Expert supplement?"

In regards to the above question, here is a list of all of the spells being added to the upcoming Classic Fantasy Unearthed Companion. There are actually quite a few more spells than the 100 I may have mentioned. Closer to 200 actually. I guess I was on a roll when I wrote them. 

Some of the spells published in the Expert Set have been moved around in the Rank structure. Now typically available at a lower Rank then before. This was done to maintain overall power level consistency.

Disclaimer: There is always the chance that some spells may be removed for space limitations, however, any that are will be made available in some format at a later date.

"D100 - Exactly 5 times better than D20"

I never saw the need to have magic separated into arcane, divine etc, DnD doesn't. The spells are identical, just the source is different. It would be easier to assign a level to the type of deity, then make the intensity / magnitude be based on 10% (could be more) on Pact skill.

D&D has always had mage spells and cleric spells (arcane and divine). From 3rd edition on, the spells have been grouped together, but there are still spells only a mage can cast and spells only a cleric can cast. And in 1st and 2nd edition, all spells were separated. Not only that, a cleric version of one spell could have completely different ranges, durations, and so on, then the same mage spell.

Just not sure of your point.

Yeah i[ have never seen the point in this - magic is well magic; just the source may be different. So to use the example from PF Deep Magic, mages are using Vril, while Clerics have a divine source. But the spells remain the same.

Magic can be such a big part of describing a setting, its metaphysics and how it operates. Not all magic is created equally, the purposes of its users and their capabilities come into play.
I prefer spells for Clerics to match the nature of whatever god(s) they worship. Not just choosing willy nilly from a big list but prayed for an granted.
Similarly, I think it matters what culture a Wizard hails from and that worldview. People from the desert will develop different magical practices than people from the frozen north.
Some magic might be outwardly seem similar between different traditions, but I'd like there to be variables I can tweak to better suit one or another.

Thing is magic is magic, just the source is different.

So have the power of the clerical spells be 10% of Pact skill. So someone with a high level, say 90% is calling down some serious heavenly power. Those with lower levels can call on less. so mages have Shaping, clerics have Pact. All other classes are essentially using Heroic abilities to boost their abilities, or gaining access to Folk magic.

Ok, so I posted a list of all the spells I have been working on because people wanted to see it.

Now my thread has turned into why you don't like a particular game mechanic. I'm not saying it isn't a valid opinion, just that it has nothing to do with my list of spells. Your problem is really with the way D&D set up is spell hierarchy, not with what spells I'm including in my own product. After all, I already established the way it works in the core book which has been out a few years now. And D&D established it a wee bit longer ago than that. I think it's too late for me to change it now, even if I wanted to. 

Wouldn't this be a great topic for another thread? I have no problem with "why did you included this or that spell", or "where is power word tickle". Arguing about game mechanics in a thread about a list of spells wasn't really the intent of the post.

Thing is, magic is imaginary, make-believe, so it can be whatever you want...

This is actually the most pressing question I’ve had in Mythras in a long time.

Well hello Captain Obvious!

It is about making a cohesive, structured world, and having magic split like that makes absolutely no sense.
