Lesser/greater Rituals, What are the diffrent uses Options

Ok i've seen it asked many times but have yet to see a answer to the question.

What is the practical diffrence between the greater/supreme and lesser rituals? eg.lbrp and gbrp
I know the greaters uses the spirit pent/hex.This is not really what i'm looking for.
they have diffrent uses what are these uses?

From my own studies its looking like the lessers are use to invoke/banish a single element or planetary force were
the greater ones are for invoking/banishing more then one element or planetary force at a time.

Am I looking at this right?

I'm sure there's more to it but i really don't need a indepth study of it just something to get a idea on the system of magic.

thanks in advance just having these fourms to read has answered alot of questions i've had.

Thanks for the input Marsyas.

To me the ritual has a lot more to do then invoking/banishing element earth(which i really don't think it's doing).
I think what Nero said about the LIRP/LBRP is more along the lines of what it does.
Still I'm unclear on what you are really banishing/invoking Nero you said Look at it like drawing spirit in and out of matter.

This kinda clicks but I'm unclear as to what you mean by spirit could you expand on that?

The LBRP does banish earth if it is drawn starting from the bottom left point which is alotted to the element of earth. This is the most common way it is used. However It could be drawn starting from any other elemental point in which case it would then be banishing that respective element.
